Back-End Networking, Databases and Multiplayer
I recently decided to finally approach php after years of fear and finished the course. However I'm no closer to finding out what is needed. Information I received from comments and research are mostly things like "You need a [A-Z]AMP thing; this's better; that's slower; that's costly; less space.." All the uncertainties stopped me from continuing the SQL course, especially since everyone claims it is rather useless now, and apparently people dislike SoloLearn teaching MySQL. Also, I heard that PHP is dying and I should use a js framework which are much faster than php, and use something like NoSQL or [insert weird name]SQL. But at the end it seems different things are good for specific purposes. My questions are: If I want to make a website so users can sign up/login and store info, what do I use. What do I use for multiplayer real time games such as ROTMG or LoL, incorporating these with javascript of course. I would appreciate any explanations and articles that may point me in the right direction.
