The fullstack Javascript track is something you can seriously consider to work on. Your learning time will be minimum with all focus on Javascript both front-end and backend. PHP as a backend language is a decent choice, as every development problem is well answered (as PHP has very long history back), otherwise Java, Djando (Python), ASP.NET (C#), or Ruby are popular choices for backend languages. The front-end part of web application nowadays is similar with HTML5, CSS (with Bootstrap/Foundation framework), and AngularJS/KnockoutJS/ReactJS for manipulate DOM elements on your wesite etc. In the backend selection, possibly, you should choose a framework for the particular backend language that you selected. It is best that you learn and build your site in the same time, so that you will see your needs in a particular section and the relevant courses to take.

Since you're talking about both the backend functionality (Payments, User account, etc) and the frontend (Design). The skills you'll need are HTML, CSS, JavaScript for the frontend and for the backend, you can make a decision between Ruby On Rails, PHP, Java and others.

Back-end can also be done using JavaScript (Node.js).

Hi.

Node.js is a popular backend language recently, certainly the Fullstack Javascript track will give you everything you need for building a website. AngularJS/KnockoutJS/ReactJS are popular frontend framework for Javascript, just for advanced features of Javascrip that is difficult to achieve with pure Javascript or jQuery (data-binding, tracking state of objects/elements on a page relates the frontend data available by backend service etc.). Treehouse has all resources to get you on the right track, however through time you will see there are many other issues that you have to learn from somewhere else such as Google, Stack Overflow to have your answer, relating to security, advance query data, building webflow etc. ,that you can only learn when you face the challenges.
