I want to design a website with minimal front end and a backend for periodic processing. Some 200 users will use the site.I have choosen php vs python. I have done few defect fixes in PHP and some automation scription in python and I have absolutely no web development experience. But I have application development experience in c++.
I want to develop the site with ease and minimum effort(no CMS as I want to learn the language). Can anyone suggest me which one choose ?
I personally think if you have little web development experience you should go with PHP. You can directly embed it in your HTML and perhaps that will make it easier to understand for you. That's of course if you don't want to make complicated websites (yet).
After you familiarise yourself with web development, you can then decide again whether to use PHP or Python depending on the platform you want to use and what you want to achieve.
Moreover if you have C++ experience, PHP's syntax is IMO closer to C++.
from c++ development to PHP or Python
