What to learn next... if I want to make my own web app?

My goal is to acquire the skill to create a commercial web app by myself. I am a bit confused to what I should learn next.

Here is what I learnt so far

  • HTML / CSS / JavaScript (Basic)
  • Basic PHP & SQL

I feel like my next step is below

  • Apply all the above at the same time to make a project
  • Dive into Ajax
  • Technical setup (e.g. Set up a web server / SQL database)
  • Making web app infrastructure stuff like account registry & verification, token, payment gateway, sending involve, handle subscription payment... etc

Are there any course/track in treehouse that someone can recommend for me to move forward?

It might help to complete the Beginning JavaScript track :)

I would try applying everything you've learned and making a basic web app to try and put everything into practice, and then come back afterwards and pick up on the things you struggled on. If you are making your own web app then that is a perfect opportunity to also give AJAX a go as well.
