What should I learn for Buddypress?

Hi,

I want to create a custom buddypress website and ready to learn the required web language, instead of paying thousands of dollars for the desired buddypress output.

I have a basic HTML/CSS knowledge (from Sololearn) What should I learn next? PHP or Wordpress or Javascript?

It's basically wordpress so you'll definitely need PHP, Wordpress and JavaScript. Getting to the stage where you are able to create a custom Buddypress theme is going to take a while. There are lots of good free themes out there that have you up and running in a short time.

Thanks for the reply, Larry.

I have already started Front End Development course, just to ensure that I don't miss out on any basic step. As you have suggested, I will head next to Beginner PHP > Beginner Javascript > Wordpress > Intermediate PHP That should be a promising roadmap.

By the way, your name reminds me of Larry Laffer.
