I have decided to develop a cross-platform social network as a personal project. I myself am a newbie coder. Can someone tell me what languages I need or can you point me to an existing list?
I do have some knowledge of HTML and CSS, as well as the core fundamentals of Java.
I learned the HTML and CSS from FreeCodeCamp as well as just messing around with code and seeing what happens when you change the a certain thing to something else.
I learned the little bit of Java from SoloLearn iOS app. (Got a certificate of completion)

Since you are a newbie, I recommend not using frameworks and first learning the vanilla languages. Creating such a project is a big endeavor, however very nice to learn and practice a lot! As for a list of things you might need, I recommend taking a look at the FAQ for new developers and the tech 101 for full stack developers. On the mobile-client site, I recommend using Cordova, which enables you to use your web-dev skills to build the app for Android and iOS with a single code-base.
Have fun, good luck and don't hesitate to ask question or post status-updates :)
