gimakon2: One example, of course there are still companies using it, but compared to node.js and java, php is less efficient. It'll become irrelevant in the future 1 Like |

JAVASCRIPT all the way! Nodejs is not a language. It’s a backend “framework” (I know it’s not really a framework) which uses javascript. PHP is for people who live in the past, who have refused to wake up from their slumber. With Javascript, you will become a complete web developer, with your skills sort after all over the world, not just in Nigeria. Some of the biggest frameworks today are based in javascript: - Vuejs, React, Angular, Nodejs, etc. Learn javascript. 3 Likes |

Highremedy: Yeah right! Unless those scripts are SAAS which do specific things and solve specific problems, you won't sell. Plus you need a team and marketing to push your script. What script do you want to build that hasn't been built already on CodeCanyon? CodeCanyon displays the engagement rate for each script. Haven't you seen some of just 20 purchases after 4 years? How's that profitable? Instead you should have adviced him to seek paying gigs while he uses the money to build PHP applications which would fetch him money when sold continually. Even people are stuck on cetsin WP teams. Hello, Oceanwp, Astra and Oxygen are the prefer. Go search out the number of developers and marketers pushing each or those themes daily. |

AKEEMNAS: Even WP is no longer just PHP dependent. With Headless WP, you can extend functionalities with other languages. Every dev should learn basic or intermediate PHP but NodeJs is better. |

Learn JS. It’s the most popular language now |

stevesawo: Focus on PHP. PHP is mainstream and specially designed for the web. PHP is mainstream and so much stable than nodeJS. Also PHP has come a long way and is battle tested enough compared to NodeJS, and from PHP7+ , PHP has been revolutionized. I started with PHP before moving onto others like GO and RUST but still writes PHP. if you're new in Programing, start with PHP and please, don't learn frameWorks (especially at the early stages) because those are tools, not Language. nodeJS is new and haven't gone through the sort of TESTs PHP has passed through. Plus getting PHP jobs are much easier than nodeJS + hosting requirements of PHP is easily available. Now some would say nodeJS is faster than PHP but I would disagree to that because, depending on useCase, nodeJS might be faster than plain PHP, but JavaScript's async programing nature is quite difficult for newbies or even average person to grab. Moreover nodeJS would only appear faster than raw PHP thanks to it's JavaScript’s Event Loop. Another issue I have with nodeJS is the plethora of ever changing toolchains, and the likes one has to install/upgrade. I love keeping things as neat and simple as I could and nodeJS is just somehow. and even when you have them installed, a single upgrade could render entire server stack unUseAble. Their packages have really low lifeSpan. As in constantly changing with breakingChanges unlike PHP that's often backWards compatible. PHP would provide you with more jobs, and with more jobs, you get much better. PHP is much stable than nodeJS. nodeJS technologies and libraries change as often as every 6 months. Imagine being assigned a large project because everyOne else is avoiding it, or the whole toolchain used died and you have to redo the entire project because, development tools support is fading and so on. Even most people who choose nodeJS because they believe it's faster than PHP really don't know what they're doing. How many of such projects ever grew as huge as FaceBook, or NetFlix and the likes. Most times, PHP is more than enough. PHP hosting is always super Cheaper no matter how premium you wanna go. Moreover, PHP + Swoole or PHP + RoadRunner isn't just so much easier to deal with BUT completely blows nodeJS so called speed advantage. PHP really isn't often as slow as they appear to be. Just that using it is so much simple that a lot of quarterBaked soCalled programmers end up writing buggy codes. If you really hate PHP so much, then I would suggest GoLang. It's so much better than nodeJS in a lot of ways. As for those saying PHP is dead, I guess they knew the PHP of the early days, or they just don't know what they're saying. PHP especially since PHP7 has revolutionized so much that even the faceBook's version of PHP called "HACK" that a lot of people switched to, have been abandoned. probably it's now mainly used by faceBook. And with the rate at which PHP is going, it's just a matter of time and we might start seeing games and system softwares written in PHP. PHP8 really is laying the foundation for those. then we have extensions & libraries such as Swoole , RoadRunner, etc in PHP's space. See a lot of companies that initially jumped onto nodeJS have left it. If nodeJS continues in it's volatile nature, it would continue loosing more and mre of it's userBase. I don't bother myself investing in learning a Language that's still very new. I prefer learning older languages else na so you go just dey go Front&Back. At end of the day, doesn't matter if you know the latest stack - what matters is how proficient you are with them. 3 Likes |

Hey. My advise is not to get stuck with choosing between NodeJS or php. Pick one and learn it very well. Must importantly build stuffs with it. These programming languages are just tools. You can easily pickup new tools as you go along in your software dev journey. 1 Like 1 Share |

Having used both and others, I can assure you they don't do the same thing. If you want to be a web developer, learn PHP, but to be a software developer, learn Node.js PHP is faster to grasp, but will also limit your programming skills, it's a fairly simple language. JavaScript is powerful and makes you a better programmer. No matter how good you are with PHP, you will still need JavaScript knowledge to build modern day websites and applications. PHP powers more than 50% of websites on the internet. But truth is most of them are stuck with it, rebuilding in another tech isn't worth the try. And what really makes PHP relevant today is wordpress. So if you choose PHP, know wordpress in and out. Nigerians don't appreciate programmers, there are remote jobs from Europe and South Africa. |

Depends on your use case or the job you want done.but in Nigeria I would say go for php because it's very easy to learn and master. iamblest:This a very bad advice to not use a framework. nobody uses core programming languages. learn the basic of any language but dont waste time to master, go straight to the most preferred framework. React is a framework. Node is framework, Express is a framework. etc. |
Re: Confused Between Node Js And PHP by katibu(m): 4:53am On Jan 09, 2023 |
Ive good experience in both PHP and MERN Stack and Ive build many projects this year alone mostly in PHP. if you're a Nigerian listen to my advice.... as a web developer, you will be getting independent contacts to build software application for clients. if you get such contracts then use PHP (Laravel). Because its more straightforward and you will only need to write the backend as you will get HTML templates that will save your time building the UI. so its much faster. If you are considering job... then definitely go for MERN stack its the stack with the most opportunities. JS is dominating the world of big companies at this time we are living. but for your small independent projects you can use laravel. PHP is far much more easier to learn. because you only need to learn the basic PHP and laravel framework and HTML templates are ready for you to buy/download. but learning curve of MERN stack is steeper, you have to learn React, Learn NOdejs and Express, Learn MongoDb, Learn Redux, maybe learn Typescript. if your goal is job.. go straight to Nodejs. its steeper but you'll surely get a job soon. if you also wanna build independent projects for clients in Nigeria then go for PHP first and MERN stack later. 2 Likes |
