I want to make a Social Networking website. I know basics of PHP, JavaScript & I'm good at HTML, CSS. What else should I learn ?

Question

What languages or scripts I need to learn to make a successful S/n website.

Answer 1

For the coding aspect, I think JavaScript is enough for frontend and Backend. Use ReactJS for front-end and NodeJS for backend. PHP is slow and is getting down the road.

Answer 2

If you feel sure that you are technically ready to start, then next, you should consider the non technical aspects, what you have got to offer that other Soc-Med platform doesn't? something that can attract people, you need something unique, something different with the rest of your *future competitors*.

Why? because if and when people are already attached with one, they need to see if your *product* has something worth their shift from their previous platform, if they see your product offers nothing, or very little more than what they already have, then you have a tough competition (No discouragement intended).

I don't know if this is *coding related*, but it sounds more opinionated type of question, responses are likely based on one's opinion, experience, or preferences, you probably be better to post this on your feeds post though ...

Best of luck!

Abhijeet Satogiya You're welcome! yeah, I think maybe SQL? you will definitely need to use databases to create something like that. Or maybe you learn SQL already but forgot to put in the question? : )

Answer 5

Abhijeet Satogiya yeah, but if the question doesn't fit in, you can add more descriptive explanation in "Description" section, that one allows more to type on : )
