Do we have to learn php?

Question

Hi guys,
I wanted to know if we have to learn all the frontend and backend web language's to make a perfect website for maybe a company.
So do I have to learn php and java for example or is knowing the frontend language's enough?

Answer 1

You need to learn Javascript at the very least. Starting from there you have many choices for backend technology, in fact you can do backend with Javascript too (Node.js)

Generally it is best to pick a single language as your priority, and get some deeper knowledge to make a really professional website. It is not a good idea to mix too many technologies in a single project. The language does not really matter. There are many frameworks for any language that speed up web development.

Later you can add other languages to your toolbox, that will make you a better and more versatile developer.
