What language do I need to write Facebook apps and Chrome Store?

May I know how to write facebook apps & chrome store? I'm a student of Team Tree House so I want to know which language do I need to write these apps. I haven't learned Ruby yet. I found this course in Udemy "The complete guide to create and publish your apps on Facebook and Chrome store".

Thanks in advance

Hey May,

Facebook supports JS, PHP, Ruby, Node.js and C#. (For the Web) For more infos check: https://developers.facebook.com/ You can also develop for iOS or Android as a native app.

Chrome supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and anything else you need - that adds functionality to the Google Chrome browser. In addition to the chrome.* APIs, extensions can use all the APIs that the browser provides to web pages and apps. If the browser doesn't support an API you want to use, you can bundle additional API libraries into your extension. More Infos here: http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted.html

I would prefer Ruby, cause this language is one of the best (in my opinion). But you can also start with php, its very simple to understand.
