Let me see, I probably would go with a serverless approach. Maybe firebase or similar. But in case that a backend its mandatory I'd go with javascript (express). Why? Because in case, I can use the same language in backend and frontend. For learning purposes is a lot better focusing in just one language.

Now for the database, first thing is to create a data model, there are good books about relational models and I'd start with that.

And point 3 I remember a very good article here in dev.to about that but I can't remember the link, maybe a fast search on the topic?

Hope it helps!

Thanks Florian! I was thinking about Node... And firebase is a good idea to get it working. I'd forgotten about firebase! Thanks for the advice, it's greatly appreciated.
