Is Python A Good Language For Backend Web Development by Holymann(m): 12:42pm On Mar 01, 2022
I just resumed my python lessons after some time out, just want to know if python is a good language for backed web development or am I better of learning PHP or NodeJS instead?

The demand for PHP and Node JS is far higher than that of Python (backend dev) especially in Nigeria.

With this information you choose the one you want to learn.

But is there any advantage of php or node.js in backend development over pythin
Re: Is Python A Good Language For Backend Web Development by February30(m): 6:03pm On Mar 02, 2022
python not cool for backend.
php does the job.
python works better for system applications and AI technology.

Python is very good for backend and stop listening to suggestions that python is only good for Ai/ml....

What makes Python a first choice for AI, data science...is simply because of the great libraries and frameworks Python has..

Same can also be said for Web Dev with the Django and Flask framework which are really good...and there's a new framework now, which is like express(node.js) called FastApi...just do a Google search on FARM stack, it's like MERN stack but with Python/FastApi replacing node.js/express

If you want fast job opportunities, then PHP, node js has more jobs out there but If your learning python is not urgently triggered for job hunting, then you can learn python as it is also very good for backend.

Learning python doesn't also stop there, you also need to learn how to deploy it online as it's deployment is not as straight forward like PHP , JavaScript.

It's up to you to decide.

Yes, and if you're talking about writing PHP in frontend, that's not great atall...the backend should be in a separate file.

There's no advantage of using PHP over Python undecided

oga, python can't create a functional forum website,

php does that perfectly.
php allows user update and delete data from server.

Please stop making careless sweeping statements line this! Jeeeez!

And you statement that PHP allows user update and delete data from server is very infantile to say the least.

check out site created with php backend and the so-called sites with python backend.


you will see the difference in speed, response and experience

Lol! From making a silly statement that Python cannot handle Forums you are now switching to the even more infantile statement that Python websites are slower? Really? Are you a real dev or you are just a PHP one-trick pony?

Google them. And when you are done, open their websites then come and tell me that Python websites are slow.

it's obvious that you are a newbie.

just like python.

if you have worked with PHP, you will understand it flexibilities and abilities.


I have written a webapp from source to finish using PHP.

it was easy and doesn't cost much on my hardware.

but, python ??

it was not that flexible as PHP.

so, I advice that you stop sounding aggressive, I am in a debate to learn.

Lol....my first computer was in 1994. So yes I'm a newbie. I mentioned Odoo to you did you look it up? It was first developed in 2005 as Tinyerp before it evolved to openERP then into its current name Odoo. Built rock solid on Python. So what we're you saying again about being a noob?

knowing Odoo is not a yardstick.


the computer world is very big.

no inventor can brag of the monopoly of computer knowledge.

that's why we have open source and collaboration.

thanks,

I will test to see how PYTHON will work better as server side/backend language with less pressure on hardware.

My exchange with you IS NOT about who has a monopoly of knowledge. I certainly cannot make that claim. My exchange with you IS about the false statement you made below. Rescind it and I'm done.

Who can mentor me in this programming adventure?
While it is so easy for others to just go on Youtube and become experts, same cannot be said of me.
I visit youtube almost on a daily basis but i just don't get it.

Where can i use the h1 in my page? Examples of h1 tag in some websites
How can i layout my page the way I want it? Like, how do i make some things to appear on any position i want whether left or right? What goes where?

Most of the videos i see just explain a concept, give an example on VS Code, check it on chrome and that's all. When next they want to explain another concept, they'll erase the earlier one and explain the new one and so on.
Can someone pls direct me to a tutorial where a website was built from scratch to finish?

i really need to learn how to code.
I would have gone to a coding bootcamp but i don't have the means.

Someone should pls, volunteer and help me acquire this LIFE changing skill

Thanks

it can be confusing at the beginning but as time goes on, you will get it.
I believe everyone was once in same shoes as yours cause am personally inclusive.
An example of the use of h1 is the title of this post at the top of nairaland but that may not actually be an h1, maybe h3
