I have learned c# and i really enjoyed it. Now, i want to learn something to create websites, web applications.

I am going through javascript, node.js etc and i find it fascinating.

My question is may be i should skip learning asp.net for now and focus on javascript, node.js.

My other options were php, ruby on rails. I know both of these languages are awesome.

But, i have heard ruby on rails is functional language and it requires lot of patience.

So, my heart goes to javascript, node.js etc .

My question is can we built whole websites using javascript and its libraries?

Am i correct in picking javascript language first and later on learning asp.net, php or ruby on rails?

Thanks

Your first question would be answered as, "Yes! We can build websites using JavaScript and its libraries". But you're wrong while picking the right language.

Since you've already learnt C# and you just want to use a language which you can use to build websites, why are you afraid of using ASP.NET? ASP.NET used C# language as the server-side and simple HTML for rendering the results on the screen. It won't take much time for you to work with ASP.NET, since you already know the syntax of C# and how you can use it to interact.

Here is a tip by me, to you: Why Use ASP.NET for Web Development[^]

Secondly, I would like to ask you, don't move to PHP, PHP and C# are totally different, you will have to learn it since the beginning. JavaScript and node.js are not much different, but still since you're good at C#, start your process with ASP.NET. Almost all of the giants are moving toward ASP.NET, some are using PHP right now, and JavaScript basically is a client-side language, so who knows tomorrow it will be a preferred server-side language or will be cut short to a client-side language only?

So, at the end my bid will be ASP.NET!
