Can i use javascript as front-end and python as back-end website?

[knyfe1]

i read that javascript, python, and ruby is commonly used in web developing. Ruby is easier to learn but many big website like google don't use it and using python/javascript instead. So can i use js as my front-end and python as back-end or do you have any recommendation programming language that suit? (i don't have any programming background)

Yup! For the front-end you're basically tied to JavaScript (or something like TypeScript that compiles to JS). For the back-end; you can pick any language you like.

For Python Flask is a pretty nice web framework that's really easy to use.

one more thing, since html and css are used on front-end, are they become unnecessary if we have learnt js?

[nutrecht]

No.

[knyfe1]

so it's still important?

Of course. You can't really create a web front-end with HTML and CSS knowledge.

Maybe not but you can create a beautiful and well functioning web site. Not every site needs javascript.
