In the first 2 minutes of the video the teacher said you need to learn server side programming language but i need help to choose one of these languages, I watched YouTube for an answer but they all give bad answer so i really need your help guys.

For me personally, I stuck with javascript just because I was familiar with it and I didn't want to learn another language while I'm trying to master this one. If your working on websites with javascript you won't have to learn anything radically new with node.js (server-side javascript). I might eventually learn another language down the road though. That's just my personal opinion.

10,453 PointsIt all depends on what you want to do. I tried to learn JS but it just didn’t click with me. PHP rubs me the right way.

Courses Plus Student 4,920 PointsEven if you intend to specialize in back-end development on the web server—building content management systems with a database, handling file uploads, and so on—you need to understand how websites fit together. So it’s essential to begin with the two technologies that lie at the heart of web development: HTML to build the page structure and CSS to control design and layout.
