For a beginner, there are different options available to\nlearn program languages and build a strong career. You can be a web developer,\nsoftware developer, or app developer. It is always recommended to start with\nweb development programming languages as you will find more interest in\nlearning them. When it comes to web development, there are two types of\nprogramming languages namely client-side and server-side. Looking from a\ncareer’s perspective, the server-side programming languages are more beneficial\nto learn. The following is the list of the top 5 programming languages for\nserver-side web development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Python –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Python is the most interesting and profitable programming\nlanguage to learn in the current scenario. It is not just a server-side\nprogramming language, you can develop a complicated application using it. The\nsyntaxes are programmer-friendly, especially for the beginners. It comes with a\nlarge library with so many different pre-coded functions that you will never\nhave to write any self-made functions to do your job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On top of that, you should get used to Django which is the\nmost popular framework for Python. All professional works are done on framework\nthanks to better prototyping and systematic development. Pinterest, Dropbox,\nQuora, and Instagram are mostly done on Python. \nHowever, for a beginner, Flask framework could be easy as it is a small\nframework to create web applications rapidly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Ruby –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The popularity of Python is more than Ruby, and in\ncomparison, Python is easier to learn. But there are too many learners of\nPython, and if you want an edge, Ruby should be on your bucket list. Ruby is\nperfect for small web application development and that too rapidly. Rails is\nthe most popular framework for Ruby, and the framework is highly programmer-friendly.\nAs a matter of fact, a huge chunk of startups prefers to start their\napplication with Ruby on Rails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, for the beginners, the Sinatra framework can be\nvery easy to learn as it is small. Then they can eventually move to Rails as it\nis used professionally. GitHub, Airbnb, Shopify, Groupon are some of the\npopular platforms made with Ruby. Even some part of Twitter is based on Ruby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Node.js<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n JavaScript is the most popular client-side programming\nlanguage that every web developer needs to learn along with HTML and CSS. But\nthe popularity of JavaScript increased in multifold when Node.js was introduced\nas it is a server-side programming language based on JavaScript. Therefore,\nthere is going to be better sync of client side and server side programming\nlanguage. As a matter of fact, Node.js is the fastest growing server-side web\ndevelopment programming language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, it is the most profitable programming language to\nlearn as you will have a server-side as well as a client-side language in your\nbucket. It has various modern features that the older languages are still\nmissing. The integration of the front-end and back-end will be simple and less\nerroneous, and therefore, you can develop web applications faster. Most of the\npopular websites like Netflix, PayPal, Uber, and LinkedIn have huge parts done\nout of Node.js. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. PHP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PHP is the oldest programming language on the list. Yet, it\nis one of the most sought after programming languages in the server-side. It is\nalso the most used programming language in web development as far as the\nserver-side goes. It dominated the Web 2.0 era, and the platform WordPress is\nmade out of PHP on which most of the content and business presentation websites\nare made. PHP is a great programming language with which you can get started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n PHP is extremely vast, and there are so many popular\nframeworks available. You will always get a job with PHP in your CV. However,\nthe salary range can vary and is generally on the lower side. But you can start\nyour consultation service and be a freelancer and start a startup with a team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. GO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n GO is a programming language introduced by Google in 2009\nand it is expected to lead the server-side web development in a few years. It\nis growing rapidly, and that is because most of the programmers consider it to\nbe technically better than Java and equal with Python and Ruby. In fact, for\nlarge applications, GO performs better, and Google is pumping its popularity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It comes with an integrated test environment, and the code\nreadability and maintenance are extremely easy. There is also an integrated\ntool chain, and garbage collection and multi-threading features are all better.\nMoreover, the concurrency is better than any programming language available,\nand the compilation speed is lightning fast. Even though it is new, it is\noffering a higher salary in comparison to any programmer of the above\nlanguages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from that, Java is like an old wine which is still the\nmost preferred language to get started with programming. However, Java is more\neffective for application development than web development. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For a beginner, there are different options available to learn program languages and build a strong career.
