Having diverted from that path, I have unfortunately lost touch with more recent developments and I'm absolutely overwhelmed by this 'new' world of frameworks, languages, and practices.
I'm now looking to get back into web-development (both frondend and backend), and I'm keen to learn. I have a relatively strong background in HTML, CSS, JS, 'oldschool' PHP, and relational databases.
My biggest concern is not knowing the current best practices. My search, so far, has only led to more confusion.
Hence, I'm looking for material that will get me up to speed, especially on a 'meta-level'. What to learn? How to organize/start modern web-development projects? What are current best practices of doing things?
I would really love your input on that!
