Which language?

I want to be a backend web developer and I like to learn how to code(curently learning python but is there a better choice) put I really need to know which language I should learn, since I go to school and don't have much fritime. Can you guys recommend me a track or a language to learn.

There is no best language to learn. Best idea would be to look at job postings in your area and see what is in demand. Are the companies you would apply to looking for Python/Ruby/PHP/Node/etc?

If you're looking to just freelance or build your own ideas, try an intro lesson for each one and see which you prefer.

Which language has the bigest marked in freelancing

Hey there.

I am starting with Python as well and plan to do web design and game development in the future. From what I've read, learning Python will be helpful when you further dive into the Web Design track and learn how to implement Django which is a "web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design." (Quoted from the Django website) My advice is to do your best and learn to master all that you can so you have a variety to your skill set and are a valuable commodity to your future employer. Hope this helps!

thanks
