   it depends on what you will be doing whether you need js or php first, but I would say js is more places. Learning js will, with minimal effort, also get you coffeescript and typescript.
   
   I disagree that js is just front end: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/459238/when-and-how-do-you-use-server-side-javascript

     What are some good resources for learning PHP? And Javascript?
     Which should be learned first? Assuming some knowledge of HTML & CSS already.

     @thndrbvr Here are a few, most have a free option. Do you want to learn front or back end? PHP is both and javascript is mostly front end as it runs in the browser.

     @musicman @geniusmusing That’s mostly #Node.js, which is a somewhat outdated fork of Chrome’s V8 engine. Considering that the browser is the least secure part of modern computers, and the #JavaScript engine is a key part of that insecurity, it is up to each person to decide whether to accept the risk.
     
     Personally, I’m willing to accept Node, but only in a completely separate VM or VPS from other server-side software. Which explains why I never have hosted a Pump.io instance.

     npm has certainly had its problems in the past, but OpenJS is now part of the Linux Foundation. I think they know what they are doing: https://openjsf.org/

     Thanks for the link. I was completely unaware of OpenJS.
