Node Js Vs Php

 Node Js Vs Php

Node or Php which should you learn or which one to select for your project.

Well, Both these technologies are built to serve your purpose of deploying web applications but when it comes to building the right tools could make life easier. 

If you are planning to build a streaming or messaging applications then Nodejs would get a nod. But if you are planning for a fast and easy way to deploy your website which has just a bunch of forms to track customers. Php will be more faster way to deploy at a low cost.

Both Node and Php has package management now days. While Node has npm php has composer.

Node comes with new frameworks like express. Php too has new frameworks  like Laravel and Symfony.

When it comes to security, although node would get the point on this previously, php too has quickly caught up on this recently.

Both node and php has a good community of developers.

While hiring comes, node js developer could get a little higher compared to php. But, this too, depends on developer experience. If a php developer is well experienced even he could get a good share.

When it comes to point and click tools based on this languages, well, I have heard of Drupal, wordpress, weebly, magento etc which are built on top of php. In this regard php wins.

But these days MERN stack and MEAN stack is in the news and well in demand as well.

When it comes to technologies all I can say is programming languages are mere tools and its what you do with them matters. Like a axe or a saw. Both can cut trees, its your choice which would be appropriate for you.
