6,853 PointsWhich language to learn???
Hey there,
Hoping to get some advice on the best language to learn to build either a site or platform to help a small business manage orders? I.e. create a dashboard to view the POs for the week and be able to retroactively update the POs and progress.
Any thoughts???

15,244 PointsIf you want to build a static site (a site with no servers) you can learn languages like HTML, CSS and JavaScript..be sure to learn all these three languages because they are related to one another. The people who use these languages are called Front-End Developers. But if you want to build dynamic websites like facebook, youtube and teamtreehouse you must learn languages like PHP, Ruby or Python. The people who use these languages are called Back-End Developers. If you want to do something like building a website to help a small business to manage orders...you would first need to build the site using html, css and javascript and then add some server side scripts like php to our website so that you can store your stocks in a database and each time a user purchases stocks online or return stocks the server will update the stock currently in the business from the database and record the transaction details along with the money.
hope you understood. Rate my answer as the best if i managed to help
