I think the question bounce back to if it's a web-based application or a mobile application, for web based applications, a very good knowledge of HTML, CSS & maybe Bootstrap will help for your front end development, and JavaScript, PHP, Python will help on your back end. there are more other languages you can use, but the whole truth is that be good at what you know, as you can use it to archive whatever you will want to. And for storage, you can read on **hosting** and **domain** of a website. I don't know if this will be

sure it's possible, but what's the point, why not just get some friends to set a team and reduce the workload. you can learn **Ionic**, it will be helpful for both android and iOS, but you must have a basic knowledge of Angular and JavaScript. Or you can also learn Java and kotlin for android then objective C for iOS.

social network like facebook require you to create an account. if you are aiming to do that. Then you need database and programming languages for back end. So here MySQL, php, javascript comes into play(you can use node. js and python in place of php.)For the content of your web you need html, css, javascript. jquery also makes ur site cool and interactive. so here is the run down of programming languages you need 1.php 2.python 3.javascript 4.ruby 5.jquery for database sql markup languages. html stylesheet css
