For the back-end, use whatever you're familiar with and what's able to respond with static files and JSON data. If you are not well versed in CSS, want to save time and don't care that your application will look like a thousand others, use bootstrap. jQuery is not best suited for web apps. I would suggest a client framework like Vue or (p)react instead of Angular, which are somewhat simpler.

I will use PHP for server side. I will try to learn Vue, React or Angular, I'm still not sure which one.
I have good experience with CSS, but some classmates tell me to use Bootstrap to make work more quick and focus on the functionality of the app. Working with Vue, React or Angular I will discard bootstrap and work with my own CSS.
Thanks you so much!

I think that's a good choice that you won't regret. Maybe have a look into the differences and similarities between those frameworks.
