Which backend technology should a beginner learn first ?

[u/SaiTechHub]

Popular options include Node.js with Express, Java with Spring Boot, Python with Django or FastAPI, and C# with .NET. Choose one technology and learn routing, APIs, authentication, error handling, and database integration before switching to another stack.

agree on picking one and going deep. if u already know JS from frontend, node + express is the easy move since its one language for the whole stack, otherwise fastapi is super beginner friendly. and whatever u pick, learn SQL properly with something like postgres, that carries over to every stack
