Is this too ambitious? - VirtualFrost - 08-08-2017
I've done basic web development on my own for a while, last month I purchased a course on Udemy(it helps me stay focused knowing I actually paid for something, I lose focus with free courses because it cost me nothing).
I've basically always known HTML + CSS, I know how to make a site with Bootstrap and I know some basics of Javascript(currently learning DOM). I have this project that'll require PHP, basically a login system at least and then I have to keep user profiles and stats. Is this too ambitious of a project? I know I could go copy/paste a login script off google which I have done before, but I've always liked the idea of using frameworks and people always talk about how easy and useful they are which is why I don't want just a PHP script. My idea was to use Laravel, but obviously, I don't know PHP so I look at it and I have no clue what's happening.
Is this kinda project too ambitious and should I be learning PHP first? I just want to work on a semi-big project, all the front end is basically made up already with bootstrap and each time I go to work on it I want to start putting in a login system so the site can actually start functioning which interests me a lot.
