High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
I hate to be "that guy", but dear god please don't attempt to learn how to develop a website for a csgo gambling site expecting it to be quick, cheap, and easy - it doesn't work that way.
With that said:
Trying to code apps (Games and social media apps): Depends. I'll assume you're talking mobile applications, in which case you need to figure out which device you're targeting. For iOS, swift is rather new and from what I see, "better" than the old objective-c method for creating apps. Keep in mind you'll need a device that runs macos to develop for mac/ios, although VM's are a viable option I suppose.
For android apps: java is your best bet and you'll have experience to further create java application for macos, windows, and linux if you so choose in the future.
Website design: HTML/CSS
Website Development: Javascript, PHP and ruby (afaik) are some of the more popular languages, but don't quote me on this as I'm not a web developer.
For general desktop applications it depends on what os you want to target. Your best bet for cross-platform development is java, it can compile and run on macos, windows, and linux with ease and learning it isn't too difficult, especially if you have past experience. There are of course other options such a C/C++/C#, python, swift, etc..
