Which programming language is most widely used for web development?

@prvncpa PHP is fine but with python, you will gain more advantages overall.

Or go with javascript, full backend/frontend mode, will have higher learning curve, but you will gain real power.
 
I feel insecurities to set in while I'm thinking about PHP database systems.

When I was 15 I was traumatized by the fact PHP needs to be secured because it's prone to all kinds of attacks (like any technology, but I didn't understand it then).

I decided to limit myself to wordpress. And my sites were still hacked years later.

I almost started learning JS for backend, but I turned away due to the existence of more secure solutions for PHP.

PHP, HTML, CSS & JavaScript is good for starting. Most web development revolves around these.

But focus on PHP. Or focus on back end JavaScript.

My recommendation if one wants to get the most of out it in terms of working alone in the room.
 
Guys stop fighting lol. There is no right or wrong way to code when it comes to using frameworks vs pure code. I think the frameworks are there for rapid application development and prototyping. That does not mean that if someone is using something home grown, it is bad. Specially if you already have something that you can modify over and over again.

Yes, I asked their opinions only but they started fighting to prove that they are right! After all, I got to know that most people use PHP here as their first server side language.

Your topic is hot. All thanks to me. I am the master of shitstorm on this forum. And still under the radar.

Someone irl wanted to slap me in the face for going off-topic.

What can be best than to prove a random internet people something? ;)

Anyhow, that fighting ended already, instead of ranting about it, you should learn from it because both sides had good arguments. :)

PHP is popular, because it's easy.

If you want to go with easiest, depends on you.

I wouldn't suggest that.

What do you think about prototyping with wysiwyg tools and visual builders? I think you have to prove you can sell the software before making it a full product.
 
Which is the best programming language for full stack web development?
Share your opinions.. It's just a small survey to find out what language is on top in 2021.
depend on the project you are working but then to java script and in the coming days python will be overtaking everyone.

I didn't say that I created this post to start learning the language. It's just a survey as I mentioned in the beginning. Please read the previous messages before comment.

For such toxic answer you earned my block list, good luck on your surveys

Add survey at the top next time. :D

I read your previous comments and most of them are like dominating others. That's why I replied like that otherwise I could have answered respectfully.
 
You use a lot of assumptions.

using a framework to write code faster, better, more structured. A framework is not an unnecessary overhead but a pack of rules, coding standards, and best practices. And those functions other people wrote for us - are just nice to have additions to write faster and better.

I would assume every coder/programmer who has more than 10 years of experience would know all these stuff you just listed...
Why would dev or devs who wrote any framework would write cleaner or better code than some other dev who is not publicly writing/releasing frameworks ?

And why should be some public framework better than some private custom one?

You do realize stuff can be added to any framework or custom code? :)

That's what being a high baller is like. Unfortunately or not.
 
Php is a must you might wonder why?
Answer is simple you can get lots of work in PHP as it's popular, open source, easier to learn and most demanded by clients.
Most clients are middleman who know they can get the work done with a php dev who cost they way less.

Do you genuinely believe it makes sense to write express.js or some django from scratch?
You'd be fired quickly. I don't think you would even make it through an interview process.

Picking a framework will teach you how to use best practices and then write cleaner code without a framework.

I listed more than one reason why public frameworks are better.

if you think a single dev team can make a better framework than a github community with thousands of devs in it, I'm sorry, but I have nothing to discuss with you and I'm replying only because you called me out here.

Im just replaying to let you know your missing the point and your off topic :)
