Hi Amin,

Treehouse has some great courses for learning Python and JavaScript from the beginner level. You'll also need to learn HTML and CSS to create web apps with JavaScript. For instance, React, a very popular web app framework, requires you to write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Even if you use Python for the backend (logic, storing of data) of your application, you will most likely end up having to use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend (display, user interaction).

For this reason alone I recommend you start with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Good luck,

Eric
