WordPress, Plug-ins, PHP, HTML, CSS and Angular 4??

I need to create a new UI on a WordPress site and want to use Angular. I am not a PHP developer, but would consider using PHP if it made this UI something I could more easily package into a WordPress plug-in.

I am a bit confused about how PHP fits into the equation.

Also, when I need to supplement this new UI with a back-end, is PHP the technology I use to communicate with the WordPress site?

Please explain my options.

Thanks.

I actually only introduce the topic of Angular since I wanted to learn Angular myself. It would be the front end of the WordPress site.

But, it sounds like I am trying to solve to many problems and should stick with PHP and make my new functionality simply into another PHP page.

So, PHP is the server side. I assume the page would be HTML, CSS, Bootstrap and PHP.

Does the use of PHP mean JavaScript is not used? Or wold JavaScript and JavaScript library's and plug-ins still be just as much needed on a PHP page?

Thanks.
