Should I learn Java or Node?

Question

Hey, I am a begginer in web dev. I want to learn backend programming language but can't decide whether should I learn Java or go for Node. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Hi! Please, find backend roadmap and learn it step by step.
For the backend, you can use any universal programming language: Ruby, PHP, Python, Java, JavaScript / Node, bash. This also means that you can use database management systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, Memcached.

Answer 2

If you're used to JavaScript, then you can go ahead to node.js, but if are just starting and want to use Java for back-end then learn it's basis and get started
