Preface

Continuing from the previous article. I believe everyone already has a certain understanding of Web front-end development languages. If you only want to be a front-end development engineer, then you only need to focus on learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript. If you are more inclined to back-end development, then you need to focus on learning back-end development languages after having certain front-end language knowledge. .

1. Common back-end development languages

Different from front-end development languages, back-end development languages are rich in types. Of course, not all languages are suitable for Web back-end development. Currently, the more commonly used languages in the field of Web development include Java, Go, PHP, Python, etc.
Faced with such a rich language, how should we choose? It is obviously unrealistic to master them all. How should we choose to focus on mastering one or two subjects?
Before making a choice, we should clarify our purpose of learning Web development. If we are interested in the Web, PHP is definitely the best choice for beginners; if we want to find a job, Java is a very good choice according to the current situation. Not a bad choice. Being able to master any language proficiently will be of great help to find a job in the future. Putting aside the Web, development language is just a method of operation, and the framework is productivity. Even though there are many languages that are relatively unpopular and you have not even heard of them As I said, some language frameworks are very powerful, and they are still an important force in actual projects. So there is no need to worry about which language to learn. Our goal is to persist in learning and mastering a language. And what is more important than learning a language is to learn the thinking of project development.

2.PHP

PHP is a scripting language that executes on the server side. It is very suitable for web development and can be embedded in HTML. PHP syntax learned C language, absorbed the characteristics of Java and other languages to develop its own unique syntax, and continued to improve itself based on their strengths. PHP supports both object-oriented and process-oriented development, and is very flexible in use. As a veteran language in the field of web development, PHP is widely used in small and medium-sized website development due to its advantages of open source, free, fast, efficient, and cross-platform. However, for larger and very complex projects, PHP's performance is relatively weak, but The new version of PHP continues to have new improvements in performance. In addition, PHP is simple and easy to learn, making it a good choice for beginners.

3. Java

Java is an object-oriented programming language. It not only absorbs the various advantages of the C++ language, but also abandons the difficult-to-understand concepts such as multiple inheritance and pointers in C++. The Java language has two characteristics: powerful functions and simple and easy to use. The Java language has a wide range of applications. In addition to being excellent in Web development, it is also excellent in application development, distributed systems and embedded system application development. It is also suitable for big data analysis and other fields. Java has the characteristics of object-oriented, distributed, robust, safe, platform independent and portable, multi-threaded, dynamic, etc. Many domestic companies have Java positions, and there are also a lot of people learning Java. Java positions are involuntarily Seriously, but Java is not an easy language to learn. For Web beginners, you need to choose carefully.

4. Python

Python is currently the most popular programming language. Because it is an interpreted language, it has become a programming language for writing scripts and rapidly developing applications on most platforms, and is widely used in the fields of scientific computing and artificial intelligence. The Python interpreter is easy to expand and can use C language or C++ (or other languages that can be called through C) to expand new functions. Due to its strong scalability, Python is also known as the "glue language". Although Python is used in web development It is not as widely used as the first two, but it can be used as a very good tool, and learning Python is also necessary. The Python language is simple and easy to learn, with concise syntax and strong readability, making it relatively easy to learn.

Five, Go

Go (also known as Golang) is a very efficient language with high support for concurrency. It has natural advantages when used in back-end server programming. Go language has simple syntax and is relatively easy to learn. It also has a development trend in China. Currently, there are not many Go language positions.

This article only provides a brief introduction to back-end development languages. No matter which one you choose to learn, the most important thing is to keep learning! ! ! Referring to today's employment environment, Java is still recommended as the first choice. 2023.9.9
