Question

Hi SoloLearners :)
Which is the best programming technology for web app development?
I learned Django, but the statistics scare me:

PHP - 83.3%
Python - 0,2%

Answer 1

NodeJS.

As for which is better between those three, whichever one you're best at. You can accomplish a lot with any of the above, so it'll depend upon your own skills and skill level with them. Personally, I don't enjoy Python, and couldn't care less about Ruby, so I'd go with PHP since I'm most familiar with it.

However, a lot should depend upon what you're trying to create and who you're creating it for. If it's simple websites, you can easily get by with PHP and call it a day. If it's going to be huge and a lot of traffic, the performance gain and scalability of NodeJS is ideal.

Answer 2

The need for django devs has increased. That is incredibly misleading, lots of servers are old and are running php since it has been popular for so long. That is just a statistics graph of known webservers not the need / current status

Answer 3

Yes, PHP is most used for server side web development. You have enough frameworks which are updated regularly. The documentation is prety good. It is easy to learn and write. I prefer PHP.
