Dave already mentions several times that the back-end or server-side programming will handle the AJAX requests made the the server. Each time mentioned he lists that the server-side code will be written in 'PHP, Ruby, or Python.'
What about C#? Can C# handle the server side of AJAX requests as well as the languages that he mentions?

The languages PHP, Ruby, and Python probably get special mention because they have all enjoyed rapid escalation in popularity recently, particularly for rapid development of small to medium size systems.
It also could just be that when the video was produced, those three were the server languages taught by Treehouse. Courses in C# are a recent addition.
