How should one start learning web applications development?
I have done web programming through PHP, so I know the basics of HTML, CSS, and sessions. Nontheless, there's probably a lot of concepts and theory behind web development which I'm probably missing since my original approach came from knowing a language, not a platform itself. Where does one go to learn the practices and general theory,...
