I want to build a web site which has user registration, but don't know what to take, I really enjoy JavaScript and node my question is can you build this with angular JS or should I do the ruby and Ruby on Rails course? I enjoy backend development but don't know what way to go can anyone help.

25,732 PointsI really like JS. In fact, I was browsing earlier for hosts that will provide a V8/node.js back end. Have you done the Fullstack-Stack Javascript on here? I think it is going to become much more widespread, to the point that hosting providers will have to provide it simply because of competition. I have done front end and back end development, always having to use two languages and markup. It just doesn't taste good :)
As far as help goes, you want to work with node.js on the back end. I think that is what you should be looking for. Unlike browser restrictions, you can use node for file and database operations. You get to program in one language. I don't count CSS and HTML as languages. In fact, it is fun to write single page JS apps where you only have an HTML header to go. You can do all the DOM with JS. But that is a choice. You can still mix the front end up if you want.
There you go. I think if you are just getting started, get started on the new cutting edge.
