Thank you for advice! Actually, I know that language is not that important, but as I said, without prior experience, I am afraid that if I will market myself as just a "backend/software developer", companies will be afraid, and with a single language it seems easier. So, the best way just to pick a topic and go deeper, there are no resources that cover them together?

Backend is full of rabbit holes. So build something simple (blogger) which touches on primary concepts : api-router, auth, access control, storage, db, cache, cloud, tests, continuous integration & deployment. Even for a small app - one will have to make lot of choices from existing components/frameworks/packages. So begin in a language you are comfortable or you like to get a hang of concepts.

Personally I would pick API development and go from there. Decide you want to build a REST API, design it properly (it is easy to make a not-really-REST API), write unit tests, and build it.
