Hello everyone, I’m still not an expert at Front-End Development but I think it’s time to learn about Back-End Development as well.
I’ve heard about PHP, Ruby on Rails, Django, maybe some more which I can’t recall atm. The thing is, which should I focus on learning to be able to create not-too-complex websites?
Don’t choose PHP. lol, no. I was only joking. It really depends on whether or not you’re going to use it on a live server. If you already own a live server, I’d say stick with the requirements that are on your live server. So let’s say your live server only supports ASP.NET. Well, then don’t go out of your way to install PHP when your live server isn’t using it.
PHP is the easiest to get started with but node js is the current rage.
If you’re looking for viable employability, then you need to consider the marketplace where you live (or where you want to live). For example, learning ruby or django would be a waste of time for me because there just aren’t any jobs in this area for those skillsets.
Pardon my ignorance… when you say live server do you mean the server where my website will be uploaded to? Or those local servers such as Apache or Wamp where you test your website? (Lol, I feel bad)
No worries. Live server is your actual website. Like sitepoint.com. That’s a liver server. Usually where people are able to reach it. Local server is usually localhost, web, .etc where you or a select few on your network can view it.
Thank you everyone for your replies!
