PHP Introduction - What Is PHP & Why Learn PHP for Web Development

In this video I go over an Introduction to PHP, talk about What Is PHP and Why Learn PHP for Web Development.

PHP is a Server Side Scripting Language used on nearly 80% of websites. PHP is extremely fast and secure.

There are a lot of frameworks, libraries and content management systems that use PHP as the core language.

In this video I also share with you how much PHP developers get paid, what companies use PHP and a brief comparison of PHP vs NodeJS and Python.

This is the first video in a PHP Tutorial for Beginners and in this playlist, I will teach you how to become a Professional PHP Developer.

We will cover beginner topics first, followed by more advanced topics as the PHP tutorials progress.

I learned to program about 6 years ago from your unity videos. I still remember how amazing it was to have those first games run. Since then I have learned more than 20 languages and even though I have drifted away from unity and game development, and more into node and backend web dev, game development will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for making these awesome tutorials years later for new people to try and experience the same thing that I did.

I"m excited about your upcoming PHP videos. Learning this stuff from someone who actually makes/made a living from this language would be a boon.

[WoahNowAreYouOkay]

I'm excited too... looking forward to learning from you. Not to nudge - but is this going to be a series coming out in a few weeks or months? Thank you!

Hey bro .. thanks for this overview .. I was wondering .. which of those 3 languages you mentioned (Python PHP node JS or actually typescript) would you recommend for someone who does primarily file or sql query results processing..

Basically read a fixed record file or sql query results, parse that data, and create a client facing text or csv report from it.. the outputs are not going to be served up on a web page but rather FTPd to repository.. very boring old school reports with transaction counts, transaction totals, etc

basically I am looking to replace cobol business reporting with a “modern” language .. cheers and thanks
