Learning it is honestly complex compared to what I've learned front-end. I've decided to learn back-end, and PHP is confusing at the moment. All I've made is a 'Contact Me!' form that sends an e-mail to me with what a user put into a form..

Ew I hate PHP :(

What I've been learning to use recently is Django + Python. I just got this working 5 minutes ago: imgur/hQTjKqN

Neat! Do you have a control panel where you can add posts?

I like Ruby, though I barely just started learning it.

Yes and no. Currently it's just that page proving I can get posts from the Django models (Python objects abstracting the sqlite database), and I wrote the html for the site a week ago. However, Django provides an admin control panel that you can access (and you can edit what information is display, how it's displayed, etc). Really easy to set up as Django provides you with a user and permission system already, you just need to enable it in settings and create an account (which it asks you to do when you run "manage.py syncdb").

I know somebody who claims they are making a Lua webserver. Can't wait to see how that turns out.

@Raw: I already have. The blog I showed a few posts up was originally written in Lua (well Moonscript) using Luvit and my HTML builder (pastebin/uUSk0kL4). I probably would have continued using Lua/Moonscript but I couldn't get LuaSQL to work with it, and now I <3 Django :D

@Dr01d3k4

Oh, okay. I guess I am really behind on webservers. I'm still using Apache, even though I hate everything about it.

I'm a complete noob at this: I know nothing about Apache :P
The internet has always been something I don't understand - to me it's the box used in the IT Crowd (if you haven't watched it, you absolutely must <3).

But now I am scared that if I watch it, for some reason I'll think of "the box used in the IT Crowd" whenever I refer to 'internet'.

PHP is already extremely simple.

I don't even understand how to install django on my website, is it something you can install on your website given the features of shared hosting even?

@Charl3s7: But horrible

@Roverandom: Read "how to tango with django" - it's what I've been learning to use and has a chapter on deploying applications using PythonAnywhere (free).

It's the only web language I can stand for now... I'm working on writing myself a Lua web server.
