I would look I to paradigms of programming, OOP, functional, strategy maps etc. 

 

They will give you more ways of programming and let you solve problems easier.

 

And as you know the languages (c++ and js) perhaps learning the basics of them is a good way to start.

yes,also what should i go with c++ or js ? i want to do mostly backend stuff but given the demand for js and that its everywhere i wonder if doing js would be the right choice.

I use nodeJs at work, have done for about a year now.

 

It's great for writing apis.

 

If you're going to be creating an api then look up express on npm.

 

If you pick nodeJs and need any help feel free to drop me a message
