Hello everyone! What could be the best way to learn back end web development?

Can somebody suggest maybe a Track on treehouse where I could learn the essential parts of back end web development? There is a Track to learn front end web development, but they do not have it for the back end. There are different courses to take such as to learn php, python or ruby on rails ("Rails Development") but I do not really know what to begin with. Maybe somebody who has already finished one of these courses could give some feedback on them? Some ideas or suggestions... :)
