Where do I start?

Looking to becoming a web developer, but not sure which route to take. Was talking to someone and they told me to become a node.js developer because they're in high demand. What are your recommendations?

Node.js is definitely good, start with JavaScript first though if you haven't learned it already. RIP X.

javascript/C# imo.

You definitely want to learn HTML/CSS too though.

If you are looking for a job from companies. Demand is quite high.

What do they expect? Years experience. You need to know PHP/MySql/HTML/CSS/JavaScript whatever. Frameworks involved.

I guess it's easier to find a freelancer jobs ...

It entirely depends on if you want to do frontend or backend development(or both). HTML, CSS and Javascript are practically a must. I would recommend getting at least moderately skilled in those three before venturing further into web development, make some static websites with the knowledge you gain from online resources, and once you have those nailed, you can venture into other languages like PHP, ASP.NET, Node or any of the other available languages.

w3chools (site) was very helpful for me while learning html/css. they even have a "try it" editor that lets you test examples stuff in real time

Very interesting. I was looking into getting a treehouse subscription. What would be my best bet?

I guess JavaScript will be my first.

if you learn JavaScript you will have already an very easy way to do backend actions with nodeJS
index.html:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Testpage</title>
	</head>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		function onLoadFunc() {
			alert('Hello World from Client Side');
		}
		window.addEventListener('load', onLoadFunc);
	</script>
	<body>
		<div>Hello World</div>
	</body>
</html>

server.js:

Code:

const 	http = require('http'),
		fs = require('fs'),
		port = 80;

const response = (req, res) => {
	const path = './index.html';
	res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
	fs.createReadStream(path).pipe(res);
};
	
http.createServer(response).listen(port);
console.log(`Server is listening on Port ${port}`);

node server.js

Where do I start?
