What next ???

I'd really like some help, what programming language should I learn next. I have finished the Web Design, Front end Development and the Full stack JavaScript tracks. I want a solid foundation in order to make a Social network web app, I have gone through node.js databases and most of their variants. Your assistance will be delightfully accepted

If you're thinking about doing some back end development I would recommend looking at either php, python or ruby :)

There's no need to start learning a new language! Instead you should start building your web apps! However, if I'd have to suggest additional learning, I would say start learning full-stack javascript with the MEAN (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular.js, Node.js) stack. Which means maybe you should learn a little bit of MongoDB before jumping into MEAN.

Here's a few resources to get you started with MongoDB.

What next... Gather a team. You won't get far alone if you are serious about it.

No one knows everything, and even if one did, this short human life is so damn limiting...

Just a 21 year with absolutely no money, I just want to set up something that I can show to some investors, then and only then will I be able to hire people.

Ideas cost too much to just share with people, your best work is often swooped from right beneath your feet.

you can't put everything on GitHub, It means too much to me.

It'll take a while, yes, but I have time not money.

In that case, do what Robby said. Spend your time building your application. Pick a language you feel most comfortable with and start working on your idea. If you spend all the time learning, you will never build anything.

Also, I see you did some research on Business track. You should define your project, your audience and the problem you solve. Continue learning the business language, that's how you sell ideas.

Building it will come easy when you do your business right.
