Web Development Language Of Choice

I've developed web apps in java, c#.net and PHP. The latter has always proved to be a more productive platform that produced the most maintainable code and faster results.

Choose PHP if:

* You want to develop a web app that runs anywhere (especially if you don't own your own server)

* You don't want to write everything yourself (the PHP community is huge and they tend to share code and solutions more than other)

* You want to be able to find documentation on everything with samples of how to do things. (php.net just plain rocks)


Use java or asp.net if :

* You need performance

* You need less talented developers in your team produces better code (compiled statically typed languages tend to prohibit you from making stupid mistakes)

* You prefer to use official libraries rather than 3rd party open source ones.

* You absolutely need an IDE. PHP as all dynamically typed languages are harder to debug and/or monitor.

Most User Friendly Language

One thing to tell about PHP, You can built what you imagine with PHP. Its very user friendly and its library is very rich and getting richer day by day. I think the Array and Date library of PHP is best of any language. I also love the CURL library, too. Hope you will enjoy this too.

In Open Source, Languages Used for Web Apps Are on the Rise

We've done several posts on how open source skills can arm job seekers with valuable differentiation from the rest of the pack, and lots of support for that concept continues to arrive. From working for commercial open source companies to working on open source-focused divisions at big companies such as Google, skills with tools such as PHP, Hadoop, and open source content management system platforms can be really valuable in today's tough job market.

In this post, Drupal founder Dries Buytaert took note of the very favorable trends in the job market for people with Drupal skills. In Elance’s Online Work Index, which analyzes the hot categories for tech jobs posted on its online marketplace, PHP-related jobs held the number one spot in July (as has been true since February). Now, Black Duck software, which maintains a large knowledgebase of trends in open source usage, is out with some notable statistics about which programming languages are showing momentum in open source projects, and how they're being influenced by growth in web applications.
