What language should I use for my app/program?

Question

Need some advice. I started out creating my Art Unblocker app/program with Ruby (no support, at that time). I then moved to C++ (had to learn Visual Studio...next). Then I went to PHP, but I wanted html elements (bold text, etc....but I don't think I can in PHP). So I went to Javascript. However, there is NO file manipulation.

UPDATE
What I want is to have my app/program to run on its own on both desktop and mobile versions. I want to have buttons, input fields, check boxes, I want to be able to save the results and load those results back in.
Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

Okay, SoloLearn Community...
I've included a file that will explain some of what I wanted to do with my Art UNblocker. I was using JavaScript, but now Im going to start using Python.
If there is a way to keep it going in Javascript, please, let me know...thank you!

You CAN use HTML elemsnts within your PHP

Answer 3

Answer 4

I believe so

Answer 5

I've decided to go with Java. Now I have to learn how to use Netbeans...

Answer 6

Ok that's cool

Answer 7

Depends On The App You're Making...
If You're Making A Chat App,
Use Node JS As The Backend & WEB As The Frontend...

Or, If You're Making A 3D Game,
You Can Use ursina Game Engine In Python! It's Free, Opensource, etc.

If Your Idea Wasn't Any Of These, Mention Me & Tell What Your App Is Based On...

Answer 8

Using javascript, I am very proud of myself. I created a block of code (I may turn it into a function and/or add to it) that keeps 2+ objects from repeating.
I just hope I can repeat that through Python as well.

Answer 9

you can write an app in js/html/css, there is no reason why you cannot have several .js files and you can store information in localStorage or in a database. Kode Krasher and I have an app bundling 15 js files, audio and images and saving info into a json. It is bundled with apache cordova (from command line) but you can also generate a wpa

Answer 10

Okay, will PHP handle buttons? I need reload buttons.

UPDATE
I'm having trouble getting a button to work. I have been searching online for an answer.

Also, why doesnt SoloLearn Code Playground include HTML tab to work with PHP?

Answer 11

Thank you Sancho Godinho for that info.
On my non-game app>>Art UNblocker, I was almost ready to complete it in Javascript (decided to go with that).

It was almost finished. But I ran into trouble...

I needed .js file to be included into another .js file. Well, at the present time, javascript can't do that. I was almost devastated after working on this app for 2 years.

I have to start over.
So, then i looked up Python. It's not as fast as other programming languages such as c# or c++; but I dont need my app to be that fast anyway. It can stand on its own, it can work with files (so I can use Save and such). Plus, I will already gain some knowledge when I want to program games (which it can do). Plus you can use it with Blender.

So I have decided to use Python, with module(s) for creating the GUI and going from there.
