Well, you need a complete orinentation training for cloud server, which is a huge topic.

It depends which language you are preferred, you can choice PHP/Python/Java as your first choice, beginner will choice PHP, more advanced programmer will love Python and Java.

Then you have to learn Javascript, HTML5, flash as front-end programming languages. Do drop yourself into them, since there are many frameworks availale to ease your development.

For IoT, you can start from some simple cloud server, instead of making your own. Then you can use REST interface to send/receive data between your device (Android) and servers.
