▶ About this video:
PHP is an object-oriented, open source, and server-side scripting language that serves primarily as a web development tool.

PHP is mainly used to create web servers. Nonetheless, it can be executed in the browser and as well as through the command line. If you don’t want to display your code output in the browser, you may do so in the terminal.

NodeJS is a single-threaded, open source, cross-platform runtime environment to develop fast and scalable server-side and networking applications. It consists of an event-driven, non-blocking I/O architecture and operates on the Google V8 JavaScript runtime engine. As a result, it’s an efficient and ideal tool for real-time application development.

    So what do you think is better - Node.js or PHP?
  • Anyone who uses php right now with larave, livewire and the TALL stack in general is completely in the game. I find PHP way better. Of course Node Js is good I use them both.
  • The title of the video is misleading. Also the MVC pattern is not something related to a language but rather a framework. For example, Laravel is a PHP framework that utilises MVC. Otherwise great video :)
  • As a developer who used both laravel and react for building ecommerce solutions I think laravel is far better in this case , specially with livewire ...Man you dont even have to write APIs to work with frontend and the built in mvc pattern is awesome...I always hated php for it's slow performance and messy syntax but man i was wrong....this livewire technology is fascinating ...it saved me so much time . Laravel undoubtedly better than next js and gatsby . Laravel has almost everything that I can imagine.. and don't even need to install multiple modules most of the things are just buit in ....no wonder why php is still in rocking... I dont need to think about ssr .. I don't need to think about performance, no need to worry about creating multiple APIs, and the querybuilder let's me write MySQL so easy and with best practices

    2:50 ? Really? This video couldn't be more misleading. PHP literally has dozens of reliable, robust and clean MVC based frameworks with out of the box features for better developer experience where as i. Express JS a developer is required to import heavy unstable packages to even breathe in it.
  • @code_marked
    PHP powers almost 80% of the internet, and is still here, with improving frameworks. This is like comparing a War vet to a young kid. LOL.
  • @edan2629
    full stack with nodejs... library is extensive... the only drawback i see is, the constant update of dependencies... nodejs is really fast and light weight.
  • @Chris-hy6jy
    Lots of words in this video but zero information.
  • I need both architecture blocking and non blocking methodologies 😅... Is it possible?
  • MVC is a paradigm not a feature & there are many MVC PHP frameworks around .. mostly to be avoided. Error handling is what you make it ... remember the 'flexibility' comment. Bad bot ;)
  • older then Php? C/C++ or what about COBAL that are still being used in Banks
  • @benjamoreno3347
    php and javascript are the best. however I'll give a try to node.js, react, etc.
  • @IvanGalayko
    PHP can't do MVC? Laravel isn't a thing then?
  • @strategylife6707
    I am using php and nodejs in one project, so I can benefit from the advantages of both 😏🤫
  • @cilo56
    Before posting videos on particular topic; first have one knowledgeable and active on said technology review the script to ensure as to not promote misinformation.
  • The downsides of PHP are incorrect. The Error handling in PHP is pretty good, the debugging is great these days, the MVC pattern doesn't have anything to do with any language, and can be implemented easily with PHP also, (almost all frameworks use MVC as the base architectural pattern). The video is a bit weak, thanks for the effort though.
  • Example of old technologies still in use…. HTML & css … replace that if you can 😂

    funny. was hoping to learn actual differences. something like what performance hit comes with node js vs php. I can run high availability app in php on crap hw, how does this compare to node js? and ye mvc 🙂, funny, php supports any framework even these which have not been thought of yet, assume it is true for any language. btw I still use my version of quick template and that thing is from the 90s.
