PHP vs NodeJs

Today, This is a little bit different topic. In which we discuss some pros and cons both of these.

In Now generation, some big tech companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Amazon, Flipkart, etc. are using numbers of languages, framework, libraries, engines, etc. and they only focus on what they have to do and which technology is suitable for there business to perform well.

Big companies are some search new technology to adopt in there business or project because sometimes the old language is not working well with their project.

So lets came on to the point that the NodeJs is a very popular language Javascript cross-platform run-time environment that executes javascript code outside of a browser.

First, you remember that we haven`t discussed differences between two languages instead we have discussed D/B language and run-time environment.

PHP vs Node.js

PHP vs Node.js

Runtime Environment:
  • PHP: its have an always ready to install in any computer with a web server to run in the server side.
  • NODE: its a run-time environment of javascript on the server side.
Learning Time:
  • PHP: it is easy to learn for absolute beginners to know about how the server is working.
  • Node.js: it's a bit complex to learn, but if you know javascript very well then the node is pretty easy for you.
Power Engines:
  • PHP is powered by Zend engines.
  • Node.js is powered by the Google V8 javascript engine.
 Execution Of Code:
  • PHP is Synchronous.
  • Node.js is Asynchronous.
Code Execution Speed:
  • PHP is pretty slower than Node.js.
  • Node.js is pretty Fast than PHP.
Weight of Code:
  • PHP is heavy to execute code than Node.js.
  • Node.js is lite weight than PHP.
Web Server:
  • PHP runs on the Apache web server. It can also run on IIS web server in case of a windows machine.
  • Node.js: NPM does not need a web server, it runs on its own run time environment.
Databases Used:
  • PHP used databases like MySQL, SQL, PostgreSQL, etc.
  • Node.js used databases like MySQL, NoSQL(Not only SQL), MongoDB, CouchDB, etc.
Package Manager:
  • In PHP, Composer package manager is widely used.
  • In Node.js, Node Package Manager (NPM) is widely used.
Community Support:
  • PHP has massive community support compare to Node.js.
  • Node.js is growing day-2-day on market and internet.

When To Use PHP?

I know you might be confusing to which technology we have to use in our project, So its a simple answer is that, depends on your project and skills.
Lets Suppose, we want to create an application(web or app) in which we have to communicate to the server every time or continuously then we must have to use Node.js.
Or let's suppose, we have to create a web application in which we have to communicate to server a rare amount of time then we have to use PHP.

My Recommendation:

As we know, Today tech world we have seen a big or gigantic application are usable. So that kind of heavy application is only handled by new technology its Node.js.
So finally my suggestion is you must have a basic or intermediate knowledge of PHP, So then you know how actually server communication works.
And then you must jump into the Node.js because they used by numbers of a big organization to control heavy application.

Languages for AI

Image
As we know, AI is tremendously growing in the whole world because we want automation or smartness in everywhere like in machines, phones, homes, office, any electronic devices, and etc. Now, there are a huge amount of newcomers of computer science students who are moving to AI, ML(machine learning), DL(deep learning), NN(neural network), Data Science, etc to grabs the opportunity of future technology. But some beginners have some confusion about getting into AI, ML, etc. So in this article, we will roll around to this topic. First of all, The primary step is that which depends on your projects which you have to build using machine learning, artificially intelligence, etc libraries. The implementation of AI, ML, Data Science is all about libraries, which is available in programming languages. Programming languages. 1. Python. 2. Java. 3. JS. 4. C++ 5. R. Here, above the list of programming languages that are majorly useful to build AI, ML, DS, etc. So, the first one...

Window vs Linux for Android Development.

Image
As we know that, Today the Mobile app developer is growing day-by-day and there are some newbies(beginners) also want to become a mobile app developer or want to build mobile apps. But some beginners(72% out of 100%) have big trouble to get started with mobile app development in Android. Let us see how, First beginners already know what technology or languages he/she has to adopt such as native langs JAVA, kotlin, c++ or libraries and framework React Native, Flutter, Ionic, Xamarin, native scripts, etc. If you want to know more about langs and libraries for mobile app development in a smart way then check it out my blog. If beginners successfully learn the foundation of mobile app development then they have to work on android studio to developed apps. In that`s situation some beginners have trouble to build an android app in their machine. am also faced that trouble in my past. Now shared my exp about android app development in window and Linux(Ubuntu 16.04+). First of a...

How Network Communications Occurs? | OSI Model.

Image
Today, In this blog we are talking about How Network Communication occurs with the OSI Model. First, the OSI Model Stands for  Open Sytems Interconnection. The OSI model is a conceptual model of how network communication occurs. For network communication to happen, the layers must work together to transmit a message from one device to another. There are 7 layers in the OSI model. We'll start at the top-most layer, layer 7, and work our way down to layer 1.     Layer 7 - Application     Layer 6 - Presentation     Layer 5 - Session     Layer 4 - Transport     Layer 3 - Network     Layer 2 - Data Link     Layer 1 - Physical The OSI model is a breakdown of the various aspects of network communication. It is concerned with the ability of different systems to be connected with each other. It's a conceptual breakdown of all the parts that are involved and groups them into logical sections. Let's c...
