PHP also has Laravel and this is MVC pattern where code is always well structured talking about subscriptions, Effective ORM (Object Relational Mapping), Libraries & Modular and many more... most of all you wont be scratching youre head while deploying nodejs projects with dependency errors!! laravel is very stable talking about Hosting.

I liked you mention the cost of production on platforms like AWS or Digital Ocean.
I am an old school System Administrator and prefer a private cloud solution than the famous money pits.

Laravel makes me love php more and more day by day. I know nodejs but I still prefer my php

You can use the cluster module of NodeJs for CPU intensive tasks. I've been using it for a few months. I'm getting a considerable increase in performance that I need critically for background processes.

You gave me the answers of last 2 month's questions, thanks sir

I think "Actual costs" should have been splitted to "Development costs" and "Runtime costs" to separate runtime costs from development costs which should consider average pay level of developers. And for development costs high cost is better if you're a developer (more money for you) but worse if you're owner of the company (more expensive technology for the same results).

For beginner, keeping future career in mind. Angular vs React Vs Vue Vs Any other.

Competitive programming vs developing projects in college years

If you can create both a dynamic and/or static web page, create databases, connect it to the database and upload the whole application to a web server/domain, then you are on your way to become a web developer.

The many reason people use nodejs is the frontend data consumption... Having said that I've coded php so it only sends the changes to the frontend all from the back end don't have to worry about promises and states as PHP has sessions already. Works like a dream perfect single page application. Also completely SEO friendly. Best of both world.
Maybe I should publish my script as would save the internet so much traffic... Specially in PHP cms's etc

I love this style of comparison, giving stars 🌟!!!

[peymanGhaderkurehpaz]

I'm a php developer. I wanna say how about comparison on frameworks ? Laravel is unbeatable as a framework. Also php has many great content management systems such as Wordpress, drupal, joomla, Woocommerce, Magneto and..

And with php 7 and also php 8 is comming, Php's speed has increased significantly and most of php's weaknesses has been covered. So I say the future is still unknown ... I'm quit optimistic about php.

[MitulAgrawal]

I love your comparison videos Hitesh. However, I feel Symfony makes it much easier to write APIs in PHP. Also, there are so many Symfony bundles for security and other tasks that make it easier to implement things without reinventing the engine. Doctrine feels much better too than Mangoose. This is very subjective though. Your thoughts?

[breniancodes]

for people who're from the third world country that wants to get food on the table:
Wordpress, PHP, Plugins, Freelance work, graphic design, etc. (you'll get tons of work and easy to get start up), learn Node, python on your free time.
for people who're from the first world country that has time to horn their skills:
JavaScript, Java, Node, Python, etc.

prove me wrong.

[thydevdom]

Thank you for helping me figure out what direction to go in. All the way from Texas your videos are always helpful and professional! 🙏

[realsong-fake]

Just use javascript if u are a beginner. You can use it on full stack. After that neither JS nor PHP is a good choice for improving your skill and your product. Think more about your future and not only the work at hand. You dont want to write CRUD or basic bussiness logic your entire life

[ruhankhandaker]

And Yes I have Completed NodeJS course from LCO 😍😍 and also Bought Django but still didn't start 😉

[asif.alvi.s]

Yep!!! do more comparisans. It gives us motivation. PHP to NodeJs moving in upcoming months. Already purchased your NodeJS course.
