Ok, I'm finished whit the web designer course and now?What the next step to develop the back-end side?

There is much confusion. I can not figure out, what the next track to follow to fully complete a website. Server?PHP?Pyton or what else?. I believe that on your site miseed a continuous thread that leads a user to making the right steps one by one, after completing a track. Can you help me?

(Sorry for my bad english)

Thank you.

I would go with python.

This looks fun. You'll learn how to build rest api, forms, and logins.

But i would go to job boards in your country to see what languages are in demand. Then I would learn those technologies.

Hello,

Even if I personally hate it, I'd suggest PHP track. It really gives a different point of view regarding building website, thanks to tempting. (you can look for "include" for php for an example). Once PHP "mastered", you can go further, read about MVC design pattern, and then try something like Symfony for instance. (I live in France, it is popular here but maybe not as much in the country you come from)

Probably simpler, or sexier, languages would be Ruby, with Ruby on rails of course. Or as stated above, Python and then Django/Flask, which I really enjoy.

There're others, but that's the few I know a bit of.

Depends on your will and motivation in fact. Hope it helps !
