What should I learn next Ruby or Java ?

Question

taking each step towards being an efficient web developer ...so your suggestions please

Answer 1

A language is just a tool. A better question to ask yourself is: about what is it you want to do that you can't do with the skills you have now? And why?
Then you can ask yourself if learning java/Ruby help towards that goal.
Java is a good bet if you are technical.

Answer 2

if you are interested in java you could have a look at springboot
https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot
Alternatively if you want to specialise in front end only, have you considered nodejs?

Answer 3

https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/getting-started-guide
This is basically JavaScript.

Whatever language you choose for backend you could also study test automation with that language (using selenium webdriver)
