What should I learn first? A Client-side language or server-side language?

Question

client side or server side

Answer 1

As you have mentioned language, I think you need to learn languages for both sides. Because both sides are equally important. I might also add that you may need to learn sql if you're into database connected web programming.

For client-side use JavaScript, this will add interactivity and asynchronous data operations to your web. If you want, or need, you can advance to learn JavaScript framework.

There are several languages you can use on the server-side processing, php and ASP.Net (using c#) are amongst the top widely used language for server-side programming. There are other server-side languages probably, that I don't know about.

P.S. Today's trend is the use of frameworks both sides, as they support you to "code less and do more". Hence increase productivity.

Answer 2

If you know HTML, CSS go for JS.

Answer 3

I'd learn client-side first, and then immediately learn server-side afterward. They go hand-in-hand, so both are necessary for most modern sites.
