Good Morning house, so I thought of learning programming past 2 months as I have been a wordpress site creator for some times AND I want to upgrade my skills and even migrate to shopify etc. but my major focus is upgrading my wordpress skills

So I've read every nook and cranny on how to start so my plan is to learn

1. HTML5
2. CSS3
3. BOOTSTRAP (CSS FRAMEWORK)
4. JAVASCRIPT
5. React , Node and Jquery library
6. PHP & MYSQL
7. Laravel and Codeigniter
8.......Keep learning

I want to make sure my frontend skill is on top notch before moving to languages like Php and mysql

A. So I have learnt HTML5 and I am on CSS now and I think I have covered 50% of CSS and let me tell you what I have learnt so far so you can guide me:

1. Selectors (I am still finding it very difficult to use adjacent sibling selectors though as it is still somehow strange to me)
2. Colors (All forms)
3. Fonts
4. Formatting Text
5. Margin, padding, border and I really learnt a lot here.
6. Layout: Grid, Flexbox & float : This has really been complicating as I can't just think of a life solving project to carry out with it and it make it somehow boring too. I know they are used for sidebars in websites but most examples I see, they design ABC box

I have a question here too, can't I just memorize one of Grid and Flexbox?

I am yet to learn Animations
& Transitions and I should do this week.

I have carried out many projects liks styling nairaland and I am planning on deg sites from scratch when I am done with jon ducket's book and conclude css.

What do you think I have not learnt yet and I need to know?

When should I move to bootstrap?



B. So I need your advice, that pattern I am following will it work for me to be professional wordpress developer. I know I don't need laravel, Codeigniter and react for wordpress but I want to expand my opportunities.


Any form of advise or even constructive criticism will be welcome

Thanks
