Ok well. It depends on what u want to do.

For SRC modification u need C++

Scripting is an own language. U can teach u by reading the doc/script_commands.txt like a book.

 

For setting up ur root server u should learn:

- how the basic works permissions, groups, folder structure

- u should learn about securing ur root: firewall, Anti ddos, flood protection

- chown, chmod, ufw, apt-get, update, upgrade, sudo, nano, service restart, reboot else commands (depending on distribution/ os)

 

For web server u need knowledge to:

- folder structure and permissions

- configuration of Apache2 or nginx

- using LetsEncrypt

- different sub Domains to different paths. For ThorPatcher SSL/443 zdoesn't work. In my opinion better use Elurair it's SSL/HTTPS/443 compatible, up to date.

 

There are many more things u have to learn. But I think the most u will learn by doing.

Additional to what Rynbef posted, if you want to create a website you will also need HTML, CSS and if you want interactivity JavaScript.
