Javascript is frontend while PHP is backend. Which should I learn first?
- Which is easier to install and start?
- Which language is easier to learn? More forgiving?
- Which is more powerful, meaning you get to do interesting projects instead of just theory
One of my passions is to share my experience in the IT world with others who are just starting out. That’s exactly the reason why I created this channel. As a Software Developer Entrepreneur, I get daily requests about the foundations and basics of coding.. “What is PHP and how to use it”, “What is vue.js” or “Which back end development skills do I need to succeed” are just a few examples.
In my videos I discuss all these subjects and other news facts which impact the IT world. In this wide range of videos, I’m sure you will find something of your interest and level.

Thank you for the information 😅 started learning php
I sincerely thank you. This was very informative.
thx!
Hi Lionel, learned the fundamentals with Python for Data Science. But switched to JavaScript for web development. I've been study and making small projects with JavaScript now 7 months. But JavaScript has been over whelming ever since I got into learning about the DOM and even very much so overwhelming when learning about JSX for React. Recently I stopped learning JavaScript and began to learn Php after watching your video. I had no idea that Php was so much easier to pick up than JavaScript?
My question to you is this. I downloaded MAMP and I am having a very hard time understanding in how to integrate my CSS, HTML and JavaScript (The Client Side) alongside my Php code? Basically, I am having a hard time rapping my head around how to have the Php interact with the HTML, CSS and JavaScript, how does this all work together? Thanks for the video and your advice if it wasn't for you, I would have never given Php a try and I am really enjoying the language more so than JavaScript.
Comments like yours make me remember why I actually started doing UA-cam videos about PHP in the first place. There's lots of examples of how PHP interacts with HTML. From a tech lead point of view, its' really really basic 101, but if this comments gets 5 likes. I'll do a quick tutorial about it because I feel that most youtube's just jump over the fundamentals.
One of the first lessons you should learn as a developer is to do a bit of a research in google and youtube before ask questions :) here is something that will help you ua-cam.com/video/34MBVXsDOtA/v-deo.html
@@lionelthetechlead8839 heres your 5th like sir 🙂
Haven’t tried PHP yet I’ll make that my second language. But what you said about JS I agreed. So far a lot that I learned I can’t use it yet for real world scenarios. It’s easy to mess up too.
Start with what you need the language to do and work backwards. Post what you want to build and I'll answer will it PHP
Thanks Lionel. PHP still dominates the web! I also love JS
Yes. I do Vue.js as well.
much appreciated for puting the word out there, honestly I heard that PHP was the thing back in the days when it was new, i guess its still the thing now its just the new things get more attention but PHP is the better one.
I am starting now, so my plan is HTML, CSS and JavaScript (thanks to you after JS I plan to do PHP rather than keeping it aside as a nice thing to have) then Python and Java.
Basically I want to be a programmer not just a web developer, so to learn coding, is good to start from HTML and CSS then work all the way to app development and data science stuff.
Here's the thing. Do you want to a generalist or a specialist. Knowing lots of languages doesn't give you the S class skills needed to command the big $ and code quality. The more you do, the better you become. Not only do I only do php and vue but it's now almost all Yii2 because I'm so specialized at it. I can basically make Yii2 and PHP do anything else, even big data.
I don't get it!
First of all no installation needed to run JavaScript apart from the live server plugin on vscode.
Secondly you don't have to define variables in JavaScript since it's dynamically typed same as PHP the interpreter does it.
I started learning JavaScript and then jumped into PHP to find out they have lots of things in common.
Switching from one to the other helps me understand both better.
I still don't know which one is easier but I'm learning both so i guess that's what is important.
What I like about PHP is the amount of built-in functions it has.
I don't know man in JS you need to know HTML & CSS but on the other hand in PHP you need also HTML and to do something cool you need to know about databases as well.
For me the syntax of a language doesn't matter much although I prefer "C like languages"
Understanding a particular language as a whole, its quirks and programming logic is what's hard to grasp and implement.
ive been watching ur vids for the past 2 hours
when i was 12 (2005) i learned to code in php(after learning html and a bit of css) . i believe it was php ver4 and i did some coding in v5 aswell.
i was part of the development team of an open source forum software (open source) just for fun..
as stupid as i was , around 2008 i got bored and drifted away from coding in general
right now im not doing so good and since ive always had a passion for tech and coding(im a cs grad) , im gonna reboot my webdev skills
im planning on relearning and then working as a fullstack dev on upwork/freelancer or sth
im currently learning vanilla JS, the plan is to finish that and move on to react or vue
my question is
since im pretty sure i'll be learning php 8 and laravel after learning vue or react
shall i go with vue or react before moving over to the backend part (php) ?
im leaning towards vue as i read that it pairs better with php on the backend
but in the future im planning on learning nodejs aswell to code async web apps so then react would do well with that(mern)
should i just learn vue now and work with php/vue or can i learn react and pair it with php and later with nodejs ?
btw nice stone cold catchphrase . you seem like a cool dude and pretty down to earth for a TechLead (if u know what i mean) =P
thanks. Check out my latest series. Coding PHP in a game. This is really fun away to do PHP and it's nice to see the animation.
PHP +Laravel = MAGIC 🧙
Learning PHP with a tech lead. Can't believe it!
Great to hear!
Need to learn both because they serve different purpose.
How
Hi, Lionel. I´m studing analysis and systems development in Brazil and my college only teaches Java and C#, also for Web. I try to convince my teachers about PHP being better for Web and more realible and cheap to host. They say that PHP is not being used currently for relevants projects or starups, but mainly for code maintenance, because Web still has almost 80% PHP. Is it truth? Can you name some relevants startups or projects done two years earlier? I really like PHP, but it seems hard do paddle against the university stream. Sorry for my english. Regards from Brazil.
Thanks for commenting Don't forget to subscribe contact me???? ???? for more investment opportunities....
Great question. I think this question deserves a video.
Java and C# will be very useful to prepare you to work on medium to large corporate projects. Once you're comfortable with Java, you could look into teaching yourself a useful Java framework, say, the "Spring Framework" or similar. Also you can easily teach yourself PHP in your spare time, but don't view PHP as a direct competitor to (or replacement for) Java and C#.
Indeed. This question deserves its own video. BTW: I am an IT-teacher myself and it is extremely difficult to convince my colleagues that PHP is the better language to start to learn programming (in stead of C# and ASP.Net). But then you are confronted with age-old stereotypes as: PHP is only meant for static web sites, not scalable, not real OOP (as if OOP is the answer to every question, but that's a whole different story). Please do a video on the cons of PHP and dispell some myths. Then I can show this around the department, and because the message isn't coming from me it will be more believable and convincing. :)
@@simongreenidge6454 Hi, Simon. First of all, sorry if my questions are too simple. Why is Java or C# used in medium to large companies and PHP not? My teacher told me exactly what you said about the companies. So, Is the best use of PHP for medium and small companies? I´m currently studying Java for Web and is incredibly complicated. Too many libraries (EL - expression language, Scriplests, JSLT, etc). By the way, I started to study Spring Framework. My IT friend told me that is so expensive deploy a Node.JS project, because needs about 2MB in the server. I think it´s the same for Java and C#, because of the modules and libraries. Lionel has a video about the speed and scalability of modern PHP (7.4 and foward) and PHP does not owe anything to other languages in WEB. So, again, Why not use PHP in large corporations for WEB projects? I honestly don´t know the answer, even more when the theacher tells me that it doesn´t exist anymore new relevants statups and projects being born with PHP. Damn I wrote too much =)
In the past I was trying to learn PHP and I did some vanilla PHP. The biggest problem I had I couldn't find a good PHP tutorial, so I only scratched the surface of php programming.
Now I'm trying to learn JavaScript. I found a great course on JavaScript and the guy have a phyton and Django course as well. I know that php is better for web development. Would you recommend to stick with python, learn well programming or would you recommend some good course on PHP from beginner to advance level?
Which sites did you look for a tutorial? There are lots of php courses online. Which one did you use that was not good?
@@lionelthetechlead8839 can you recommend which site/courses to go to?
@@drew6395 hum... I haven't actually looked at beginner level PHP for almost 10 years. (Jedi master level) But I did think the codeaholic was pretty detailed.
Personally I think JavaScript is a lot more difficult than PHP
One complex problem with JS is non blocking, meaning things are happening at the same time and you have to work with call backs. Another problem is loading the packages
As a beginner you should learn python, because you can do everything with it, unlike mostly web bound and dedicated php and js. Unless you know already you want to be mainly dealing with web dev.
It depends what you mean by everything, by that token PHP can also do anything. You can run PHP on your terminal & run its in built server as well.
Js is also a language that pretty much can do everything these days. Frontend, backend, mobile,, desktop.
@@wilsonwg Apart from frontend , JS is the jack of all trades but master at none,lol.
I truly believe once you are proficient in one language the next one you use to accomplish a specific task it's a matter of learning the syntax coz it's actually the easiest thing since you can always google it ;)
@@jazzyniko yes devs are experts at Google :)
PHP or python
Hehehe, those python guys are aggressive
You are not objective Javascript has more use cases than PHP.
such as?
