Which back end language would you recommend learning after finishing the front end developer track on Treehouse?

However there is no 'best' place to start. Ruby, Python, Java and Node.js are all popular choices.
The best thing to do is try a few of them out and see which one you like best. You could also look at what jobs are available in your area and see what languages they require.
