Can you answer my questions about programming an online shop?
After much deliberation, I have decided to set up an online shop and I have a few questions:
1) Are approximately 400 hours (programming/learning time) enough to program such a large project as an online shop (at junior level)?
So far, I've spent about 300 hours learning and built a few small projects (HTML, CSS, JS, React, and a bit of Node.js backend). And I wanted to use another 100 hours to learn a few things I could use to build an online store.
That would put me at about 400 hours of study time. Is that enough?
2) An online shop on (junior level): How many hours does it take to build it, if, as mentioned, you have about 400 hours of learning time behind you?
3) And what else do I need to know besides HTML / CSS / JS / React / Node.js?
I'm also familiar with GitHub now and I want to deploy it to Vercel at the end.
Thank you!

Hey,
You’ll get a shop that I did as a beginner.
The question is what you want to do with the shop. Making money? It’s getting tough, because the big crack is security.
Probably you will not be able to develop “safe” enough and already a user comes to the orders of another, or make orders in his name.
Or lowers prices to 1Cent and then buys, or returns things he never had.
Klaut SessionIDs and makes other nonsense.
There are 1000 things
But, of course, you’ll get shop with buy, sell, product searches.

I forgot to write : it should be just a learning project and for my portfolio if I will apply later.
So it’s not supposed to be a real online shop but a fictitious online shop, there are also Fake Store APIs etc
Thanks for the answer!
Oh, sure, as a learning project, it always goes.
If you want to apply for what I think is a great idea, write UnitTests.
I generally find very good if applicants can present code.
You wouldn’t believe how many people don’t even do it when you ask for it in advance.
Greeting and success
Hi,
I would recommend PHP in addition to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. PHP was created only for server-side web development.
Over 90% of content management systems and the largest shop systems work with PHP.
Node.js also offers many possibilities, but also has its limits. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, so PHP offers a lot to successfully complete a web project on the server side.
I have already worked with the most diverse technologies on the server – including Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Java, Python and PHP.
Therefore, I personally know the advantages and disadvantages of any technology and can write recommendations for different requirements.
Success
Yes.
Go through about 30 hours. (Minimum)
PHP and/or Laravel should you be able to. In addition, C# is always very practical.
But you should remember that if you rebuild a shop, you have a lot of vulnerabilities. These can lead to devastating consequences.
I forgot to write : it should be just a learning project and for my portfolio if I will apply later.
So it’s not supposed to be a real online shop but a fictitious online shop, there are also Fake Store APIs etc
so if there are a lot of security gaps, it’s not bad now.
You can produce crap in 400 hours.
You can learn a lot in 400 hours.
Whether your knowledge is sufficient for your project, you must be able to answer yourself. Every person is different, every person learns differently – and we do not know you.
Conclusion: Start and learn from the mistakes you will make.
