Is PYTHON Better Than PHP In Web Development? by Menaha(m): 8:54pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
Hi web developers, I really want to go to web development (i jst finished learning html, css) but I'm confused about the programming language to start with. After some research (using google), I decided to start with php. I told my friend (who's a web developer for abt 3 yrs) about it, he encouraged me to learn python first, that it's better than php. But my research from google shows php is the most widely used language. My friend said he can't lie to me, infacts he will guide me en route the road of web development (and i trust him) and that's where my problem/confusion lies. I don't know which on to choose b/w both. Which one do you think it's better? Your replies are appreciated. |

Just pick any of the languages and you are good to go, I wish I started with Python but I do afraid of Snake especially big type like python, that is why I mount at the back of the big elephant. Both are easy to learn, easy to write and comes with lot of open source library. 2 Likes |

This Debate has been going for ages.. PHP is good for a Beginner... Requires learning no Frameworks @ all.. Php is also supported by myriads of hosting companies.. Python is also easy... The learning curve is relatively simple and you can start writing meaningful apps using Python... However, U needa learn one of Python's web Frameworks inorder to be able to create web app.. Frameworks like Web2py , Django , Flask, Bottlepy , Cherrypy etc... They are all good and Scale better than PHP in large high-demand web apps.. Bottom line is: U can start with any of the above depending on when you sample the two languages.. |
