Should i move onto the WooCommerce?

HI,

I did tutorial with Zac Bootstrap to WP and now i did practice it and understood it quite well, although comments and search isnt my storng side, but i qould make a simple blog remembering the stuff .

So, would be a good idea to move into WooCommerce so i can learn even more about WP and then do all the rest of the track? and parctice it , and practice.

If you understand how to make templates in Wordpress then u can surely learn WooCommerce since it's just a plugin on top of the templates you make or adjust.

Oh right. So basically it has just some extra features and stuff ? I can make pretty blog and or so from skratch since i practiced it quite a bit , so i though if i move into WooCommerce , im gonna discover more and if i want to make soemthing else, like maybe login? or whatever, im gonna have mroe knowledge etc.. a lil messy but i hope you know what i mean. Ill deffo go for it and see.

First front end track. Then php developer track. Then wordpress track. But yeah you can just learn to use the software and buy a theme.

Woocommerce is pretty easy to learn. One of the easiest carts to use. Just buy a skin. Then use visual composer done. Beautiful website. Then also buy a nivoslider plugin. You got yourself a page that looks like everyone else zero code. Just shortcodes and some coding.

I know PHP basics. I know little jQuery . But i take that in advice and id look at it after i finish with WP .

But what you said about the composer? etc..? if that would sell, then that would be alright xd me personaly want to be a good programmer, but anything i could make money now would super help me.

if you planning to learn like magento or laravel you going to need a vps account to play with in live deployment. or even heroku.

My plan is to make WordPress themes form scratch and earn from them for survivol and save as well. Get a part time job and while i can survive, learn e.g JS and Rails, i dont want to get into laravel now, id preffer Rails over it atm .

Im hoping i can make websites soon , and when i get the WooCommerce skill needed, sell that as well and make my mum one too whcih would be the first one thats good practice .

Hopefuly i would be ble to get a job since i would learn a lot form the seniors that are there.

Other than that, im trying to figure out if anything i learn there would help me here , i need to re-do this site , but im not sure about the login, rigsiter team, forgot password, and that stuff.
