I teach languages but not web programming specifically. I'd might recommend Elixir as a good back-end server software to program in. It is easily one of the language that are the most fun to program in, although it is not statically typed, it is fully functional. I happen to use Elixir on the back-end and Elm on the front-end for my big server right now.
