What Is Harder, JavaScript Or PHP? - DevHunters.com l Webmaster Forum - Web Advertising - Web Design

Torner · 12-27-2007, 02:38 AM

Hey all,

Maybe seems like an odd question to ask but the reason I ask is because I am learning JavaScript which I find fairly hard to pick up and I am going to start learning PHP soon and so I wondered if I am going to find it easier or harder than JavaScript?

in terms of learning curves, javascript is easiest but php can accomplish a lot more than javascript being server side language.

Smiggy · 12-27-2007, 06:17 AM

Err...I'd agree with that.

Javascript is easy once you've mastered it. It will lead you on to learning other coding languages like Ajax.
Php can get complecated but is easy to pick up. It's easy to understand, it's just using it which is the problem.

No one harder, it's easy the same.

anantshri · 12-30-2007, 01:16 AM

well both are one and the same if you have some programming backgroud, and for new babies also learning any one is equal.
the point is JAvascript for cient side and PHP for server side, and if you want best outcome use both.

Smiggy · 12-30-2007, 02:48 AM

Well everyone has there own opinions

Tadas000 · 01-02-2008, 05:45 AM

I think JavaScript. PHP was the first "language" i learned so its easy to me, maybe thats why i think javascript is harder

karthikeyan · 01-02-2008, 07:11 AM

I feel Javascript is the tough when compared to PHP

SpOrTsDuDe.Reese · 01-03-2008, 08:40 AM

Well PHP is simple to learn but has many advanced features for more experienced members. JavaScript is nifty to learn but has it's limits. I basically only use javascript for functions that PHP or other languages do not cover. In my experience. JavaScript and PHP was easy to learn. Though thinking over it, PHP takes more time to master, unlike JavaScript.

sekuchi · 01-09-2008, 07:13 PM

Personally, I learned PHP first, then JS. But they are both easy to learn..

SpOrTsDuDe.Reese · 01-09-2008, 07:22 PM

JavaScript is easiest. Though PHP has easy skills to learn and many advanced features for advanced members.

sunken · 01-10-2008, 05:06 PM

PHP has far more commands than Javascript does and in some ways that makes it easier, but more to learn. The reason I say easier is you are not as constrained as you are with Javascript. As I always say, one should consider taking a basic programming course either online or at a college to really learn programming structure. Then the rest is just plugging in the right commands with a few changes here and there.

SpOrTsDuDe.Reese · 01-10-2008, 05:15 PM

JavaScript is easier I think. PHP is a lot more useful. If you learn any language, and see some examples in PHP, I think you could substitute some code for PHP code and get your result.

PHP is harder IMO.And it aslo more useful than JavaScript.So learn PHP is a good choose IMO.
