What is best programming language for web development?

Answer 1

You'll probably need a mix of HTML, CSS, JavaScript to make a nice web. Just don't use PHP

Answer 2

I am no expert in web development, but I heard nice things about WebStorm. Maybe the SoloLearn tutorial on HTML will help you :)

Answer 3

@Harry H Of course you can code everything you want in notepad, but having syntax highlighting and autocomplete is pretty helpful.

Answer 4

@Goio:

Why "don't use PHP"?

@Tamo Neki:

In all case, you must learn HTML and CSS at least, and...

If you mean web development on client side you can need JS if you want make more or less ( with CSS today, we can dynamize web page without JS ) dynamic pages ( or web app like -- but a "real" web app need often development also on server side )

If you mean on server side, the choice is wide: almost language can be used. They all provide module/library/framework to facilitate development and concentrate to web designing... Among them, PHP is the most used one, and it's easy to find host providing it, instead others choice are much less widespread... but you can look at Python/Django ( or Bottle for more light but more basic -- less tools all loans ), Ruby/on Rails, Java/Spark, and so on... There's is even a JS based solution ( a slightly modified version ) with NodeJS ( probably the second one most used today ).

Answer 5

@visph I should have worded it differently. What I mean is PHP is an old language, and not precisely "beautiful". There are some new languages that can do the same work, although as you said PHP is very widespread.

Answer 6

@Goio:

I'll agree with you that the recents solutions are pretty sexy :) ( I starting a little project -- not pro, essentially for fun -- with Python and Bottle, and it was amazing for who love code for code :P And I've previously look at Ruby on Rails, as much sexy, but didn't go deeper because of fails to install/run it -- in addition to my preference for low level code )
However, the most simple way ( and most documented ) to do server side development still is with PHP ;)

Answer 7

Learn all the fundamentals and basics for web development and expand. Start small with html, then CSS, then JavaScript, PHP, or Python.
