Hello... I Hope You're Doing Well

In order to prepare for the following year, I intend to learn a freelance skill, but I need assistance with the following.

• WordPress; web design; web programming

As mentioned above:

1. Which one is hard or takes time to master?
2. Which one is more profitable among the trio?
3. (Looks like a silly question right?) Can I use my desktop computer to learn?
4. Could you suggest a really nice course for me?
I mean truly excellent ones.
5. Which one is best to learn while schooling?

In anticipation, I appreciate your responses.

Now, both WordPress and Web Programming are modes of web design. WordPress deals more with plugging and templates which takes little to no time to understand and execute with little to no programming skills. Web Programming on the other hand is getting yourself versed in the art of using programming languages to build and develop web services, be it websites are web applications. So you choose your forte based on your capability.

Now, which is harder... I'd say Web Programming, as you really are in control of what you're doing, meaning you have to be really skilled in the art.

Most profitable, this will depend on how you see it. If saving time equals profitability for you, then do WordPress, but if complexity of projects define profitability, then web programming.

And yes, your desktop computer will do just good, but with time, you'd understand what you need based on your choices.

Find courses online. Coursera, Edx, even YouTube..... Just pick one that works for you.

If you're still schooling, it means you got time on hands. Now it's still left to you, cos it boils down to profitability. If you do one, it doesn't stop you from doing the other. So you can start with WordPress so you grasp what whole idea of user interface, then delve into proper backend development once you feel you can.

Muchas gracias.....

Thanks for tip, I really appreciate your time lordwheez.

I will be considering WordPress...

But web programming and web development....are they not the same?
