Help Me Develop A Site Like OLX by chigozie391(m): 7:50am On Jun 28, 2017
I am an IT student studying Computer Science. I havent been able to get a placement for one reason or the other,so I decided to learn web design/development.

Am good with HTML AND CSS, currently learning Javascript. I need a Mentor to outline/guide me on what I need to do/learn before I can develop a website like OLX.

I have always wanted to build similar thing particularly for my school... To help with the buying and selling that goes between graduating students and matriculation students.

Secondly... I believe by the time am done with it... I must have learned alot and have the confidence to take ọn any future project.

okay, I think you need to understand the languages you're learning first, understand it very well, watch videos on them before thinking of site like olx, u can as well check dere source code to have an insight.

Go online and study PHP via ebooks or videos. The issue is you are a beginner and you are already going into "complex web projects". That's an issue. There is a learning curve to every programming language. If you need a project to work on, then make a Simple Resume website and do it with the best of your HTML and CSS ability. Leave OLX till another time.

For SIWES, check out http://placements.com.ng

If you like the lazy way, try WordPress, for more trouble try drupal.

If you are to design it from scratch, you are heading for a collision, system like olx is robust and will require proper engineering
