What's wrong with learning JavaScript?

I'd say remove PHP for now and use a language that has an elaborate type system. If you really want PHP, learn the newer versions of the language (PHP >= 5.6).
Forget Angular; go straight to Angular 2 but be sure to know your JS well (especially ES 2016).
Also try to reward those authors by paying for their work and respecting copyright. Most free soft copies are pirated works.

It's very possible, thats what people go into these days: full stack development. I would recommend freecodecamp.com and w3schools.com. Check them out. For books, check out "head first" books. They've written books for many languages (if you are new to programming you might want to start with head first programming, it introduces programming using python). But I've found out that online resources are the best

Before you go any further if you might have got started, please don't pick programming because you want to make money. Making money from programming is another ball game entirely, you can make money, a lot of money from programming without knowing how to write a line of code or even writing a line of code.

Secondly, having a laptop is not enough if you really want to learn how to program. The most important of all is your will power and determination (Programming can be very frustrating to learn and even more frustrating to practice as a profession but its fun ). I don't even own a computer while I got started learning to program back then (Another Tortoise story of mine).

That's a big topic you asking for, I will summaries it in a few sentence:
I define Programming Business as the system where you write computer code for a living, this is totally different from software business where you have a software product to sell. You might be writing the code for others, or employing other to write the code for you as long as you get paid to write the code. I segmented it into various parts: Marketing, Contracts, Project Management & Delivery, etc.
It is just everything you will want to do in normal business but in this case, your product is code writing.
