I want to code and I want to work with bitcoin

[Morguk]

I've been looking at programming languages every now and again over the last few years, but I've never chosen one and started to practice. I did some old VB coding back at college and I was alright at it, but found it pretty restrictive.

I've done some research and came to the conclusion that if I want to do online/bitcoin development, then Javascript is a good option. I did look into Python/Django but Javescript is always recommended as it has came a long way in the last few years and it's used on basically all websites. Plus I don't have to faf around as much with libaries and dev tools.

What do you think of this choice?

What I stuff do I want to do? Not sure yet, but I find things like this interesting: http://www.bitlisten.com/

I've been looking at some Javascript examples today and I'm mainly stuck on how to combine that with the blockchain. I've found this http://bitcore.io/ but how do I implement it and get started?

I also need to learn about NODE.

Thank you.

If you dont know any other languages the best way to go is with php then jquery(js), assuming you already know html.

PHP is server side, JS client side so if you want to handle any kind of security(eg. RPC/blockchain/sql) you wil always come across php.

I would recommend try and write a plugin for Electrum that implements the script merchant.py into a plugin.
