The document summarizes a meetup about learning web development. It notes that no college degree is required, and that all one needs is an internet connection and laptop. Web development allows one to be their own boss and build ideas from nothing while working remotely. Popular server-side technologies mentioned include PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby, Python and Java. The document recommends choosing a server-side technology like Laravel or Django and focusing on a framework. It also suggests starting with HTML, CSS and JavaScript before moving to a backend technology like Node.js or Express.js. In the future, JavaScript frameworks seem promising.

visual studio)
– Server (back-end Development)
– A passion to build and code.

6. Getting Started (Technologies)
– HTML (Mark-up Language)
– CSS (Styling language)
– JavaScript (Scripting / Language of the Web Browser)

7. HTML vs CSS

8. Server Side Technologies
– PHP
– ASP.NET (c#, f#, Visual Basic)
– Ruby
– Python
– Java
– Cold Fusion
– nodeJS (JavaScript for Server Side)
There are up to 2,000 programming languages, these are some of the popular ones.

9. Choose a Server side Technology
and focus on a frame work
– PHP – Laravel, Yii.
– ASP.NET – MVC.
– Python – Django
– Ruby – Rails
– JavaScript – nodeJS, ExpressJS

10. The future
It seems to be JavaScript Frameworks.
So if you’ve not started, master HTML, CSS & JavaScript then move to its backend
technology like NodeJS, ExpressJS.
