Hey guys, I have very basic knowledge of html and css.
I can create an informational web page.

I want to get into things like adding a forum or links to sell items.

Any advice on where to look for tutorials? or any good books to read?

Any info is much appreciated, thanks.

I would like to code it myself, yes.

Is there any way I can do this using bootstrap?

I don't understand what e-commerce is.

i assume you mean twitter bootstrap, which is css. that's separate from what im referring to. so yes you can use bootstrap, no it won't replace what you need to know.

I would suggest learning JavaScript (jQuery), PHP, and MySQL. These three technologies, plus HTML & CSS, are all you really need to know to make some awesome, dynamic, web 2.0 style websites.

I would suggest teamtreehouse.com
If you have $25/mo and are serious about learning web development it's well worth the money.
I purchased a subscription for the courses on design, business, and wordpress, however I have poked around the web development courses and they seem very solid.
