As mentioned on TAZ, I an rather interested in this platform, but have yet to learn languages. What languages are needed, what is helpful, etc? I'd love to learn to develop the platform, plugins or themes(HTML,CSS I assume.)

Thank you for the support. Currently running through CodeAcademy's JS series. Few other languages I want to learn, but I've decided to prioritize for NodeBB.

I hope to be a decent coder within a year. I'm amazed at the innovation of NodeBB and want to become involved. This might just have been the push I needed to begin learning.

Also, in the event I wish to install a NodeBB forum, how would I go about that? What hosts(free!) support node,redis and the other requirments? I've a forum project that would require less attention then my main prpject, and I'd be proud to run NodeBB software.
