I have to do one project for my thesis involving Artificial intelligence, collaborative filtering and machine learning methods.
I only know PHP/mysq/JS, and there is not much AI stuff examples in PHP.
There are some books on AI on internet but they use Java , Python.
Now I have to apply AI techniques on web application.
Which language should i choose java or python.
I searhed on internet that I can call java classes inside my php so that can help as as I am very good at php
I have also seen that python can also be used with php as well
So which way should I go and roughly how much it will take me to learn java
I have done java basics but that was 6 years ago
Does it really matter which language your books use? I mean, you're not gonna copy-paste those examples. And you'll learn to recognize basic constructs (functions, loops, etc) pretty fast. It's not like learning to read Chinese.
Talking about learning time, there's probably no definite answer to this question. I think the best is to look at examples of code both in java and python and see which seems 'nicer', easier and more familiar to you.
Good luck!
Which language should I use for Artificial intelligence on web projects
