Well ones a framework in php, another is a server side "language" written in javascript. Neither are completely necessary to freelance. It really just depends what you want to build.

There are some courses here that talk about freelancing, I'd suggest you go through those, that should answer a lot of your questions. Most clients don't care what tools you use to get the job done, just that you can get the job done - and that depends on what type of website and service you want to provide to what type of client.

So, you mean i have to choose my tools depends on what type of website i work with??? Can i learn both (I mean learn one of them first)

Yeah, kinda. You could build the same website in either. Most of the tools can get you the same result. Some are better options than others in some situations, but I never worry about that too much.

You can learn both, and you should. I have spent time in both, and many others tools and languages.
