It's not unnatural to have to rely on learning from things like snippets, but as long as you understand whythey work you should be able to take full advantage of them. However, with things that involve user inputs and payments, I'd probably look towards software that's well-established and secured. Last thing you'd want to do is put users' data at risk.

Yes, I totally agree with what you said about payment. I have some programing experience. I have touched, aside from web languages, C, C++, python, java...
I was thinking on some repetitive stuff you see everywhere.
Imagine the comment section of a blog. Should I program it with PHP on the server side, create a database to keep track of comments, users, blog posts, etc? I really think I would be able to code it with time, but it seems i'd be re-inventing the wheel. Are templates for those things as well?
