Things you need to know to build a WebApp?

Question

My aim is to build a WebApp, more like a platform for C2C business.
Getting confused with back end requirement. Some say JavaScript is fine, others no you need different programming language.

Are there any frameworks which will make the task easier and reduce the time consumption.

For front end, Bootstrap is helping me after completing HTML page.
But I am not sure how to deal with back end.

Know MySQL familiar with the queries , again mongodb is another option(haven't used before).

pls Help me.

see, its like this. HTML is like a skeleton. you can put all the bones together, and make it look pretty good, but all that skeleton can do is just stand there. sometimes thats all you need. but if you want that skeleton (a metaphor for HTML in your website) to do any kind of work, it needs muscle, right?

muscle woukd be JavaScript and PHP. but bones and muscle isnt very pretty, is it? it needs skin, aand hair, and makeup. that would be CSS.

JS is calked a client side language. that means that JS does all of ots work using computing power from whoever is using your website. so if tgey have a crappy browser, -and- a crappy device, tgen they are very limited when it comes to JS.

PHP is called server side. basicly, a user will push a button on your website, and PHP will send the info that they pushed a button, your server will do whatever that button does, then send it back to the webpage. this way, crappy browsers and crappy devices can still use your website.
the draw back is that PHP takes much longer than JS, but were talking fractions of a second most of the time.

MySQL deals with your database, it helps store all the information and sort through it. its like talking to siri: "hey MySQL engine, fetch me line 564 of blah blah blah blah. it helps PHP do the work.

so a good website will use JS first, but if people cant use JS, then they would have a second option of using PHP. Cantr II is a great example of this. on that site you have tgd option to turn off JS, so you can play that game from almost any browser, even from a nintendo DSi.
