because you very curious about that, I give you a simple explain.

some of learner here always search the most recent QA post. they also know something to share in others question. when they open a QA, there is no answer. so they answer it without reload the QA post to see if there already has an answer. because that you see 3 learners answer your question with long answer within a minute

Answer 3

php is server side :)

Answer 5

JavaScript. Why?? Because JavaScript can now run on server with node.js. Think of it as after learning JavaScript and you start writing frontend applications and then want to dive in to writing back end applications. You don't need to start learning new technologies like php or rails. Since you have that knowledge of js, you use that as an advantage with node.js to start writing your back end applications. The npm for Node.js has many modules to speed up the development process some of which are express and socket.io. To me JavaScript has changed my life. JS rocks 💯 👍

Answer 6

JSP and PHP are web programming languages. They are mostly used as the logic behind the scene. All the if-else, variable, for each, etc. all go to here.

When JSP/PHP are rendered, that is when HTML is called. HTML is whatever you view on a website. Right click and choose view source on any webpage, the source code you see is HTML.

Javascript is mostly front-end too, it is like interacting with what the user sees.

To create a website, you need to know HTML at the very least. Knowing HTML only can only bring you static websites with no logic, but with web programming language running back-end, you can do more such as user registration, etc.

To accomplish your project, you need JSP/PHP and HTML. Javascript is not necessary.

I recommend you to use PHP, as it is more widely supported, with rich documentation, easy to setup, and Take this chance to learn new language.
and you can also use javascript after getting some knowledge of html and php
in my opinion all languages are good but I like javascript but it is important to learn and know who and html before go towards javascript
