This is a really broad question. Ecommerce sites are built with a number of different languages, frameworks and CMS platforms. If your goal is to become an ecommerce developer or build an ecommerce site, I would recommend the following learning path:

  1. Learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript. These are absolute requirements for any web development project.
  2. Learn a back-end language like C#, Java or PHP as well as the basics of using a database to store and retrieve data.

Once you have learned the basics of creating a dynamic website with both client and server-side, then you may want to go to a platform like Udemy or find a set of YouTube tutorials on the specifics of ecommerce. Udemy has a lot of courses teaching you how to use specific technologies for building ecommerce sites, and lynda.com has a number of courses and learning paths related to this as well.

Good luck.
