any back-end development track?

hello guys and thanks alot for this amazing website.

im very new to web development and just started and have no programming backgound and only starting html / css.

as i understand the web dev world is 2 parts "frontend + backend" and we learn them both starting with frontend right ?

my question is where do i find the "back-end track" ? do we have one? i got also lots of my friends wish to join this site but when they didnt find the "backend" track they got discouraged.

thx alot for ur time

Hi Sabrek,

'Backend' usually refers to server-side scripting/programming and administration. There are a number of different tracks to explore here - you'd probably want to start with Development Tools, and then take a look at the PHP track and the Ruby track. There is some overlap here with 'front-end' development (for example, the WordPress Development track delves into PHP), but generally you're looking for tracks that involve backend programming languages, as opposed to HTML/CSS.

hello and thx alot for ur reply

would u please be kind to list me the backend subjects 1 by 1so i can follow after frontend track?

would be so awesome for me

There's PHP and Ruby on Rails both are backend languages so take your pick.
