 Best Training Path for Web Development?

Hi, and thanks for taking the time to read this request.

I have a few product ideas that are essentially user-defined, Web-based query results from a relatively simple database.  I need to know what things I need to study to build this.

I do have prior experience as a database programmer (but back in dBase/FoxBase days) and then building a robust, multi-user contact manager (in Visual Basic) application around ten years ago that is still in use today.  I don't necessarily need to be certified in something (though that might have some extra value)--I just need to be capable of the job.  

So, PHP? SQL? Visual Studio? ?? What pieces could I be missing?

And, any recommendations on online training?

Thanks!

Hi,

PHP with MySQL is a good option and very commonly used for developing database driven websites.  It’s easy to learn and use, so you can look at this combination for doing the desired.

Their official websites are good online resources for learning these and using these for website development: -

hxxp: www. mysql. org
