Hey everyone! I have a background in web development and I'm familiar with HTML, CSS, a bit of PHP, and JavaScript. However, I'm feeling a bit lost when it comes to creating a fully functional and secure website from scratch. I really want to make my own webshop, but I'm struggling to find a comprehensive tutorial that covers everything I need from the ground up. Any recommendations would be super helpful!

Try searching for specific projects on YouTube or Udemy. If you lean towards Laravel, you might find these project tutorials particularly useful.
There's no one-size-fits-all tutorial out there that covers everything from start to finish. It’s best to break your project down into smaller tasks, and for each task, you can find plenty of tutorials on YouTube or Medium. Just take it step by step—good luck!
Have you checked out Code With Harry's web dev course on YouTube? It's free and pretty informative for beginners.
There's tons of great resources out there, but the real key is to start building! Just dive in, set up a simple project, and learn as you go by reading documentation and experimenting.
Building your own webshop can be quite a task. If you're looking to get it done right, consider using services designed to simplify that process. But if you decide to go the DIY route, I'd recommend picking a framework to enhance your PHP or JavaScript skills. I personally prefer Next.js for JS, but Laravel is great for PHP users—just a heads up! Also, a lot of people enjoy the 'Net Ninja' YouTube channel for tutorials.
I totally agree with everything you said! I've been a PHP dev for over a decade, and I wouldn't recommend starting an eCommerce site unless you’re ready for a serious commitment.
