Ruby on Rails or Python.

Ruby on Rails has a robust community around it ( tons of tutorials online). It's used mostly in start - ups.

Python is a bit easier and is used for the scientific community. Academics like it.

I think Ruby on Rails is the way to go.

P.S. try to find the same thing in Python and comment back on here if you do.

Hope that helps!

I am not a coder, I did my undergrad in mechanical engineering, and I wish to work where I can actually apply what I studied. But your advice doesnt look like a bad option! thanks
