I began by wanting to learn some simple web creation for a project I’m working on and before I knew it I got immersed in Content Management Systems - in particular Drupal and WordPress. Then somehow I fell into the trap of wanting to know some PhP so I could understand what folks were talking about when they posted about modifying templates, themes, etc. I enrolled in an online course but having the extra help from this forum should be very helpful and maybe eventually I’ll learn enough so I can help.
Good luck 
Just ask whenever you’re stuck ^^
