why learn php in 2018? |

[@Pochinator]

Ignoring all the PHP haters on here, I'm gonna learn it.

[@michaeljrgensen7071]

Do it! My first language too, and i am still happy with it! ;)

[@Ab-cj6gl]

How r y doing now?

[@ajcics]

Joe, you and Stefan Mischook give the best web development advice for aspiring devs on KZbin. No one else comes close to you two.

[@CodingPhase]

I just try to be honest and look at the bigger pictured instead of focusing on what I like I tell people what would be best for them.

[@JDMorris81]

I'm taking Stef's IWD course. He's an awesome teacher and I'm learning so much from his way of explaining things.

[@pastuh]

Hello, im 12 years old, i want to learn PHP, i see at 2:00 most popular websites, i will check each website, to know how fast they are. Thanks, bye

[@codeChris]

The truth is PHP isn't super exciting and it's been around so long we think it is obsolete. But there are so many places looking for PHP/wordpress, especially in the smaller companies. Ironically, when I started I was actually trying to avoid it... I ended up working a company that does mostly wordpress/php website development. lol There is no escaping it!

[@Program2live]

I work for one of the biggest companies in the food sector in the world. They use agile but have data capture systems in PHP 7, it's in fact growing, people just like buzz languages, look at ruby on rails to see how the 'buzz' languages turn out. It definitely isn't just for "small companies" or wordpress.

[@salmankashfy]

You learn things according to the market requirement. But go for what you love. Don't worry about jobs. It will come one day or another

[@ericglover259]

My two cents. To anyone out there looking to get in to the industry, there are tons of entry level jobs for php / wordpress - like the guy said. Once you get used to web development switching languages and frameworks isn't that hard (or really even that exciting), so don't feel like the stack you choose to learn now will determine what you'll be doing for the next five or ten years or something. When starting out I'd look more at what kind of a job you'd like to get now. If you're 100% committed to a startup culture Ruby and Node are good, a lot of the website / marketing shops love php / wordpress, etc..

[@Geomaverick124]

Hey learn both. If you are looking for a job learn php and after you get the job learn node

[@andrewatts7425]

I feel comfortable with JavaScript so I was just about to start focusing more on NodeJS and MongoDB. After this video, I guess I'll stick with PHP and MYSQL for now and move forward with that.

[@endlessetudes2029]

I would say that writing backend js is a completely different skill than frontend js. Going to PHP instead of learning Node isn't as much of a leap as going frontend to backend. Do what you want, but realize that depending on where you live, a Node job might be harder to find. I learned a lot about Node (and prefer it) but now I'm back to PHP because there are 0 entry level Node jobs where I live.

[@slapmyfunkybass]

EndlessEtudes You’re completely right, many people don’t realise it is a big jump going from JavaScript to node.js, you’re actually better going from JavaScript to php as the syntax is more consistent.

[@taelurmyers5861]

I live in Orlando, Fl currently (miss San Diego :() and they are hiring PHP developers for $90-100k a year with less than 2 years experience. That's definitely motivation for me to learn PHP and MySQL right now. I was doing FreeCodeCamp these past 2 days and completed 100 challenges in less than 2 days but I was not really learning how to build pretty ass websites that could get me hired. But it indirectly reframed my mindset and has made me realize that being a web developer is my diehard passion. The past few months all I do is read articles about coding. I bought colt steele's course but I was lost when it came to CSS selectors so that's why I stopped coding for a few mths. When I get the money I'm buying your courses just wait on it lol >.

[@alexlytle089]

If you can't understand css selectors you will never understand JavaScript lol

[@CombobreakerDe]

If you want to learn programming to get a job: Just look at Job offerings and what actual companys want. Learn That. And once you learned any language it's way easier to learn another one, as requirements change.

[@sararadwan7349]

Thanks man for this awesome video .. Will PHP remain so in the future or five years from now?

[@CodingPhase]

Yes php it's the heart of the web its always going to be around

[@sararadwan7349]

oh thanks man with full of my heart

[@Terzaghi12]

I don't care if PHP is "ugly" sometimes, i only care if it does what i want

[@dhangrad9836]

Doing coding phase curriculum and definitely going to concentrate on php. I live in Florida and it appears that the php market is pretty hot. A few months ago I was fixated on learning JavaScript for react with all the hyped up courses on udemy that's over like a gazillion hours long. I'm one of those mid career shifters, been employed in healthcare close to 20 years. Time is very precious in my world. I'm happy to have found coding phase.

[@tonyp6342]

X Vid, sounds like a useful web res...wait a minute! There's definitely penetration testing going on but no MySql or Javascript in sight! Joe, massive fan of your videos and enjoy the hangout vibe you've got going on. Just one question, how do you approach / breakdown a project using Javascript/PHP? I understand the fundamentals of both languages, however, I get lost while trying to figure out the problem. I watched a vid just yesterday of Traversy Media (great channel) building a bookmark application using only Js (and Bootstrap too but that's easy) and was just blown away that he knew how to break the problem down and build it up. Is there a structure or step by step process to go by? Thanks maynnnnnn!

[@reidmcculloch4391]

As of today there are 410 pages of jobs on indeed.com in the heart of the Silicon Valley for php developers

[@CodingPhase]

Yea but ,"it's dead" lol people are stupid if only the did research. Thanks for the comment

[@reidmcculloch4391]

@@CodingPhase Bro, I wish I had learned vanilla JS and PHP 2 years ago. Now I'm freakin jobless in the heart of the silicon valley playing catch up. Like you said the Indians got the IT shit on lock and I cracked the hell up when you said that because it's true. Wish I would have found you and Josh Fluke a year ago.

[@ITwalaGD]

Thanks for your advice. Which course should I buy?

[@dmitrykologrivko]

Yes. You are definitely right. I think for juniors developers it's a best way to find a job at least you can work as php developer and study another technology then get job as python developer for example. Just really hard to find a job with another web development technology if you are a junior, especially if you live in small town.

[@bruck2723]

absolutly correct!! I just had an interview for my third job. I have never met a company willing to change its existing system mostly built in php. They will pay more if you're willing and able to adopt their current code and extend on it.

[@bilalmustafa]

Would you recommend ASP.Net mvc over mean stack? For Someone who is trying to get job and don't have any experiance? I have background in c# and .net

[@joebloe4491]

Joe, what other languages do we need to learn OTHER than PHP, to get an entry level PHP job?

[@jakestewart7079]

Joe Bloe JavaScript. Before getting most entry level jobs, they expect you to know an mvc framework, a front end framework and be a good programmer (algorithms).

[@slapmyfunkybass]

JavaScript

[@MrLunarSwan]

I’ve spent almost 11 months learning so far. I got the hang of html, css, and js and jquery are starting to get clearer. I still have things on that end to learn like ajax and api. Should I wait until I’m better with that before moving to php? I had planned on getting into react, but if php will get me a foot in the door, I just want to know where I should place my bookmark in the front end side before moving to the backend.

[@IbrahimAbdAllatif]

Start learning php right away and once you know the basics learn about the MVC pattern and start learning laravel framework afterwards, do 2 to 3 projects with laravel and start applying for jobs, don't wait any longer and learn about ajax along the way while you are making the laravel projects. I've been in your place less than one month ago and now I have already landed my first job as a laravel developer :)

[@ReptilianXHologram]

Ibrahim, did you learn PHP before or after Javascript?

[@IbrahimAbdAllatif]

After Javascript and after I did several simple responsive designs with html, css and bootstrap

[@ReptilianXHologram]

Cool. Thanks for the info.

[@TheSGUYALEF]

Actualy php7 is the fastest...

[@turok3637]

As a newbie in development, been working front ending a while, just started learning some course about node, and problem with node, you are not allowed to learn how things work, because we are using packages, for example, you use package passport for login/register and stuff, and behind scene, you have no idea how that is built.. And all courses use packages, so my opinion php is better for learning stuff, mastering, and then when you master it, you can learn node easily.. because you are forced in php you learn from 0 and understand it fully how things work.. :D Maybe i am wrong, who knows..

[@michieladriaansens6476]

hi can anyone help awnser me this? i'm pretty familair with programming C# within Unity.. Since Gamedesign oppertunities are in between to cringy and very few here in Holland. The idea of fuckin around with websites appealed to me more. So since programming isn't a complete foreign concept to me would php be good foundation for me to learn website creation/maintenance?

[@CodingPhase]

Yes it will be very easy for you to learn PHP since you are coming from C#. Visit my site I have all the courses you need for just $10 dollars and I go over all the things about php, mysql, html, css, and javascript which is essential now in web development.

[@TheEmailDev]

What happened to your stream about PHP, I was in the middle of it then it died on me when I refreshed the page to write this comment below that video: Do you mean we should learn PHP after learning JavaScript? As far as I understand, this is how it goes right: HTML>CSS/Sass>Git/GitHub>Bootstrap>Javascript>jQuery>PHP ? I just know basic HTML, CSS, and Git at the moment.

[@keithcarrillo8238]

BtWebDeveloper you can learn php before you learn js or the other way around you'll hear fans of one telling you to learn one first because of such and such. But if you want a bigger focus on front end or backend then you should have a-first-language-focus between the two. They don't depend on eachother like knowing css before Sass & bootstrap.

[@TheEmailDev]

I see, thank you so much for letting me know! I started taking the "New Media Web Design" program in Niagara College 2 months ago and the program is mainly centered around front-end web development just as I like it. I am in my first semester and in one of my classes, they are teaching us Javascript so I might as well learn JavaScript for a while until I start looking into PHP. I am looking to get a job in Toronto after I graduate in 2 years, and as Joe said, when I look at the jobs in indeed PHP jobs seems to nearly double nodeJS jobs but I will enter the scene as a Junior Front-end Web Developer and I'll see where PHP and nodeJS will be at in 2 years. I am not sure knowing one or the other will be a necessity to get the junior job.

[@luzaw4957]

JS is the fastest, realtime collaborations such as google doc, firebase, dropbox paper. And when it comes to frontend tech, Angular, Vue, React are quite popular now. So, PHP becomes only for endpoint server, but python, ruby, rails could do the same job. Btw, facebook is not only PHP.

[@slapmyfunkybass]

frez stylz Facebook is 100% php for the backend, you shouldn’t be using php for frontend, that should be left to JavaScript. You said JS, I think you mean node.js

[@luzaw4957]

Facebook is not 100% written in PHP. facebook.com/note.php?id=9445547199&index=9&note_id=14218138919 www.quora.com/What-programming-languages-are-used-at-Facebook-Where-is-each-one-used Yea, I shouldn't use PHP for frontend. That's why I said *PHP* becomes only for endpoint. I didn't mention only Node JS. Node JS itself doesn't do much unless it is *NPM* . And I just commonly say JS because a lot of JS frameworks out there. This is my opinion why I choose Javascript (high-level programing Lol). Because I am building a cross platform web apps, desktop apps, mobile apps. And *JS* can do it at *ONCE* !. PHP? Nah,, I don't think so, and I use many API services that's why I don't have to code in PHP to build my own API. Check out at Google Trend, PHP is going down year by year. trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=PHP,%2Fm%2F02p97,Python It seems I went so serious. No offense. :D PHP vs Javascript is like Potato vs Banana.

[@slapmyfunkybass]

Okay, I thought you were just starting out so asked the question, I was trying to simplify it for you. I think FB largely uses Hack which they created, kinda a dialect of php but obviously a lot of other languages are now interwoven in its makeup. It was originally written in php though.

[@BrandonClapp]

JS is not the fastest. C# on ASP.NET Core is currently faster by about 4 fold and there are other language/server configurations that are faster in general. Speed is also relative to the task at hand. JS is single threaded so if you're doing heavy computation you'll need to fork the process (different than multi-threading) to do the computation so that your web server doesn't block and deny new requests. Unless you're trying to scale beyond a few thousand users at any given time, performance is heavily overrated for most small projects. However, if you're looking to scale, you will need to scale your architecture horizontally by adding additional servers rather than vertically scaling a single server by adding more resources to it. Any language can scale with the right architecture. In the use case of Facebook, they don't have a single web server hosting everything. They have load balancers that, on request, route traffic to an appropriate web server based on load. There are also other tools that are taken advantage of to scale such as in-memory caching datasets (memcachd, redis), using queues (rabbitmq, zeromq) for out of process jobs, ..etc. tl;dr - Scaling is more involved than just picking a programming language. For realtime apps, almost every language now has a websocket library available to it, be it socket.io, signalr, action cable, django channels, ..etc. Every language has pros and cons. For example, anything npm package related seems to break after coming back to the project 6 months later. I don't prefer PHP to some other languages, but as a web development company there's no denying that PHP dominates marketshare for small businesses, has the most developers available for the cheapest price, and is a mature, tried and true solution for many people. If you're just a hobbiest and don't care about those things, then perhaps another language is better for you.

[@deretano_fondelli]

Again with those myths? Facebook has moved to Hack which is dialect of PHP but not PHP at all... PHP owns the web cause of WordPress not because it is a good language. You saw yourself that is the TREND, PHP has been in decline for ages.

[@CodingPhase]

Yes it's in decline but jobs are going up... lol so what you saying? Do we focus on jobs or what's trending on Google searches... I rest my case

[@deretano_fondelli]

In my area especially in EU I don't see any jobs with PHP. Most wanted are Java, Python, Javascript, ASP.NET..In New York you type javascript it is more than 3000 jobs, PHP 1000... But anyway, anybody is free to pick what is the best for himself. PHP did not work for me...

[@NickLeeds]

Deretano Fondelli he is talking about for beginners, those self taught that maybe didn't goto a 70k a year college that mommy and daddy paid every penny for

[@deretano_fondelli]

I don't know where you live, but in almost every EU country Universities and colleges are free of charge. If not you could pay as little as 1000 EU a year. Btw, a big majority of programmers are self-taught.

[@CodingPhase]

Bro i'm sorry but you an idiot... when you compare javascript to php should compare node js jobs to php jobs.... thats like me doing a search for html vs javascript on indeed... theres more jobs with the keyword html but thats not the point. We talking about backend jobs... learn how to search then come talk to me
