Hi,
Can anybody help me to choose the right treehouse track for me.
I would be intrested in to learn programming some form calculation web applications like an invoice app, with login pages and databases.
Should I choose the "rails development" or "front end web development"
Do I actually need to learn ruby for this kind of applications ?

If you want to do all offline and on the client side you just need HTML/CSS and Javascript. So it depends on how you want to build your invoice app.
