Best programming language for the web

I prefer using something along the lines of Ruby on Rails, but "best" is variable at...Well, best.
 
Language depends on your needs. They all do basically the same thing... what you are looking for when choosing is deciding what your specifications for the project are then searching the net for anything that already does 60% of what you want to be done. If python does it, go with python... if PHP.... go with PHP.

Another note... the more developers for a language the better chances you have to find the talent and keep. If you have some very specific language the laws of supply and demand will take effect meaning you can be charged more to get the same project done. I recommend php for this reason as it has the largest number of developers.
 
PHP is best for web programming language, as it give freedom to code independently. WordPress, Magento, Laravel, Codeigniter is the best framework I have ever used.

I do agree, due to being extremely popular in web development and relatively quickly adapting to newest standards it's probably going to last very, very long. It has both the simplest development and simplest server environment. There are more resources on the web to learn PHP than any other language.
 
Hello! If you want to develop Frontend you can use JS/React/Redux or JS/JQuery/Angular
 
currently learning python/django.
Sofar it's cool, short code, easy syntax.
In the future ill be swapping classic JS for react.
 
Web JavaScript + NodeJS, nothing else is needed. Make sure you determine if MySQL is necessary for your project. I love key/value DB's like LMDB.
 
i grew up with PHP.
I love php.

but i am currently moving to JavaScript, node, and NoSQL.
everything now moving towards serverless technology. PHP is good for server side scripting and all, JavaScript now able to perform well both for client side and server side.

but, all in all, programming nowadays is more about end products, all depends on your purpose.
 
am new to programming and i learned little bit of each javascript, php, and started to read some about python.
so far am still sticking with php.. but i'll be following this Post to read more.

thanks guys a lot of info in here lol
 
I am using php for web programming language for my web application and I think its the best one
 
Depends on the size of the project. For simple websites, blogs, etc. PHP is great. For bigger systems that are web based, you need to shift your thinking to "non-blocking" methods. The problem with the old way of thinking is that when a bunch of users hit your site, things become clogged.

There are some great languages out there now that are reactive to the users needs and suit large web systems much better.

hye can any one please help how to integrate third party plugins into react js
 
Has anyone looked at the Elm programming language? Its a pure functional programming language(it similar to Haskell but it only has a fraction of its functaionality) for web development. If you have some programming familiarity with recursion and immutable data and pure languages then I'd check it out.... Its pretty cool!
 
These days: JavaScript through and through. Most of what I develop now are React frontends, using APIs written in Node.js. And that's a growing trend in the industry... so much so that a lot of us have taken to jokingly calling ourselves JavaScript Developers, as that's what we're writing 90% of the time.

PHP is still a strong contender though. I've been writing in PHP for some 17 years, and have always been subscribed to the Internals team, keeping an eye on what's going on. And they're genuinely good about pushing the language forward.
 
PHP just keeps getting better and better. A close competitor is Python, which is better than PHP for coding bots and the such I believe, but that is where the better part ends in my opinion.

Yea, PHP all the way. Go search on CodeCanyon.net for scripts and you'll see PHP has it's own category, as does Javascript, which is also a nice language you can do some SERIOUS business with. You can do everything in Javascript including re-writing an entire web page to make it become, say, Google.com on your domain.

Give me a one line inclusion of Javascript code on a web page and I can control everything on that page from an entirely different domain - powerful stuff.

I don't like ASP.net or Microsoft IIS, I don't really code on Windows, web coding pays me well. C# never got into it, worked with C, C++ and the such before but these days object-oriented Javascript and PHP really gets me going.
Please can you recommend a good tutorial on object oriented programming JavaScript for me
