Hey stefan, i have been following you for a year now. I just started coding as i aproach my 30s. Thanks for all the content. I really value your advices and your opinion
Hello friend, I'm from Brazil and I really like your videos. I don't know if you have an option there but keep leaving the videos with subtitles, my English is still intermediate. good job.
PHP works great. Now in order to make more "secure" it need to use SP´s and validations in order to give more "security" in the querys. Now, I think in order to make more powerfull PHP it reaquiere a good Framework like Laravel or Leaf. Im making an API in Flask and it works great! (also using SP´s in order to make the querys and TSQL´s) and its so fast. My next step its try to make it in Django.
I recently switched from PHP to Python and it was quite a nice experience. The standard lib in Python is way much cooler. I still love Laravel but Django does the job. A book that helped: "From PHP to Python: A straight to the point guide". Real Python is quite good too.
If you understand code convention and codility structures you wouldn't be concerned about a switch it'll be a transition I spoke alot about it in my series
@Stefan Mischook Uncle Stef kindly tell us something for working remotely. For example, I am at Athens , Greece(working as a front end Engineer already) and want to find a remote job at Nothern Europe... Thanks
mr. mischook i am very new to web development i have a fulltime job and in my spare time i am trying to educate myself i have built 1 website in wordpress a few years ago would you advise python or php in my case

On this topic of regional market demand differences: isn't the whole profession of software development based on the idea that we work on a network that is internationally connected? Shouldn't programmers from Russia be able to get jobs in Canada? And what would the consequences be of that: global crash of the markets, because people from India would charge peanuts yet provide university level skills? Where is the world going if the internet is not connecting us for software development jobs?
Work permits make this difficult and only few get this opportunity! 5+ (maybe 3+ if you are good at presenting your job) years of experience will give you a work opportunity in Sweden from Pakistan and also you will have to do some tests. I helped to move one Pakistani guy from Växjö to Malmö, and he worked in Pakistan 6 years before landing job in Sweden. Also, if you don't practice complicated stuff and only do frontend, chances are even worse as Swedish students have mandatory internship while studying and they take those easy jobs anyway.
There's a whole world of PHP outside of WordPress. Some PHP developers even refuse to do WordPress jobs. PHP + Laravel developers are some of the happiest developers of all.
PHP is NOT for WordPress. If you can find a single PHP developer who says: 'WordPress is a great platform for coding in PHP,' that person must have mental health issues. WordPress is the worst thing that has happened to PHP.
Php wont land anyone in big companies. Some low profile programmers says 80% of total websites use php in back end , well in reality its true , because this 80% of websites use php is websites of chicken shop , barber shop, and blogs . Imagine if amazon stuck on php they cant become the worlds top tech company. PHP is good if you work only with static content doesn't need complex backends
PHP makes dynamic content, not static content. That's the whole point of PHP, which is why it's needed for blogs, news sites, and web apps. It pulls content from the database tables. It's HTML that makes static content. By the way, Amazon is a bad example because there's 99.99% chance that your websites and web apps will NOT become the next Amazon or Facebook. Amazon doesn't use Python either. Those giants tend to use C++ for all the heavy lifting they require.
As someone who started with PHP and switched to Python: YES! Hell, yes! Yes, yes, yesss! YASSSS! YEAH! Dump that ug... ooops... sorry! So yeah, just do the switch already. You will enjøy!
So you are saying that Python which is 3-5x slower than PHP, with Django which is sub par compared to Laravel is a better choice than the language which drives 70%+ of the web?

PHP for web development, Python for data science.
php has a bad rap, but 8 (and even 5 really) is excellent. Probably need to add laravel to your skill stack.
Why switch when you can use both?

True
For those concerned with recession, reach for international markets. Plenty of jobs everywhere.

Okay, now go out and find a butcher who needs a website.
I see that python salary are 20+% bigger then PHP. Is this a good reason to change? For golang and kotlin are even bigger.
i am in Europe there is no job for python in web development most of them use either java or php or maybe nodejs
@@ob34915 Where in Europe exactly? Asking because I'm trying to figure out what to focus on.
Germany
UK
France
are the ones with most of php jobs
then Greece
Cyprus
Spain
etc
@@joselgraterol Really? Is this just for web? Indeed and LinkedIn give me way more hits for python than php in Germany. UK also.
Sage advice.
I wouldn't switch from PHP to Python even if it was mandated by law.
Now that's funny 😂😂😂
mr. mischook i am very new to web development i have a fulltime job and in my spare time i am trying to educate myself i have built 1 website in wordpress a few years ago would you advise python or php in my case
what you think about symfony? never seen you talking about it.
Symfony is brilliant framework...it's for advanced developers...and especially for complex app.....
Why do you have to switch instead of doing both?
I think the question here is not “should I switch” but “should I put the time and effort into learning Python”
No I don't need it, php is superior to python :)
I remember hearing Python developers say: "PHP is slow," but in every test I've done, PHP is faster than Python.
Prove me wrong.

PHP for wordpress, Python for pure coding. Both for more work opportunities.

PHP is NOT for WordPress.
If you can find a single PHP developer who says: 'WordPress is a great platform for coding in PHP,' that person must have mental health issues.
WordPress is the worst thing that has happened to PHP.
Rule #1: Never switch from procedural PHP.
And why is that?

There is no perfect programming language for everything. Each language has its pros and cons, even Python and PHP do.
