Nitty-Gritty of a Web Development Course

Competition in the job market is rising at an exponential rate and this is not a third world problem but a global phenomenon. This is because with passing time machines are competing with men to perform job efficiently and quickly. That’s why you need special skills to outperform your fellow human and machine competitors.

The sector that is growing rapidly and still has an enormous scope is the world of websites. Website design, development and digital marketing; these 3 departments broadly segregate this world. In addition there is one more vital department and that is grooming of job aspirants. If you’re a fresh pass out, having a graduation degree; parents of such a student then this blog is well suitable for you. Let’s see them individually.

Website design: The foremost thing that captivates your attention is the exquisite design layout of a website. Website design is comprised of several components. You might have heard such terms such as CSS, HTML, JavaScript, jQuery plus Photoshop and Flash. In pure sense the last 2 terms could be called the actual members of this department. The designers who play with first 4 terms are better called front-end developers.

These days’ websites are equally meant for desktops as well as for mobile devices. Have you noticed how smoothly they fit into different monitor dimensions? The magic behind this is the responsive web design.

Many people say that Flash is a term that has outlived its efficiency. I do not think so. Whatsoever Hollywood movies you see where special effects are used to create life-sized Dinosaurs: those special effects are mainly made from Flash and JavaScript. Of course there are many more essential parts associated.

Website development: This is a strict regime of programmers who love coding and having their cup of coffees. Many popular languages are used to build websites such as PHP, Ruby, Java, .NET etc. Mostly all of them heavily rely upon OOP or Object Oriented Paradigm (PHP is less dependent on OOP).

If you’re aware of C and C++ (I mean well aware of them) then taking a first step in web development would not pose difficulty. Main aim of developers is to make a website much more user friendly, scalable and effective. They also help in to enhance the loading speed of a website (now that’s a great boon for an always in the run user).

Ecommerce industry is a booming one and there are many open source and paid CMS platforms to help you control and operate your website much easily- Magento, Joomla, Drupal, BigCommerce being some of the names.

Digital Marketing: Ever wondered why the hell some websites come first when you search for a term at Google? Well the answer is SEO or Search Engine Optimization. This is a part of an expanded world of ‘Digital Marketing’.

Marketing is an extremely important aspect of a business. You’ll say, ‘Microsoft does not need it.’ True but they built a rock solid foundation before and needed good deal of marketing in the initial stages.

Digital marketing applies SEO, SMO (Social Media Optimization), Online Reputation Management and Content Creation and Marketing among others to bring focus of netizens on a particular website.

Student Grooming: This is a common sector of the overall job market. How you face your interviewers, is invaluable. Before applying for a job make yourself tough.

All of the above sectors are comprised within a good web developer course. Prudently select it after all this is a question of your life.

For a Beginner Web Developer PHP is the Best Possible Platform

PHP is still now the most versatile and robust platform to learn web development for a beginner. Some potential reasons are given in this article.

Few sectors of Information Technology are rapidly expanding and among them Website Development is one of the foremost industries. To develop a website you may implement whole lots of programming languages but to be an expert you have to choose a singular one. At present many Object Oriented Programming Languages are applied for developing an exquisite website. Few such are Ruby, Python, Symphony etc. that are actively promoted before the beginner learners. However traditional programming languages meant for website development like PHP still holds a solid ground. Let us see why PHP is still so popular?

Advantages of learning PHP in a brief

• Easier learning platform of PHP- PHP is a language everyone can begin with in spite of not having a thorough Computer Science background. But it is not that you can begin learning PHP without minimum knowledge of computer languages. At least C and C++ are basics that one should have knowledge.

Python, Ruby or Symphony is purely based upon Object Oriented Paradigm. For a beginner coder creating programs out of this setup is quite troublesome. He/she gets proficiency in such environment after a good deal of experience.

You will say that learning OOP is a necessity nowadays, I agree. But after teaching in this profession for the last 10 years my career experience tells me that for learners it is easier to code without an OOP atmosphere at first and they become flexible to code in OOP after they code in non-OOP structure.

The OOP layer of PHP is very easy to learn and comes at a later stage of coding. For beginners it is a welcoming platform.

• Easier platform to create real life products- One of the biggest appealing things with PHP is that the language was specifically written for developing websites. That is why it is so easy for a beginner developer to create an app. In addition you can so easily make an app live via uploading it on a PHP enabled server. To do the same jobs via Python or Ruby is a complex affair.

Problems with Python or Ruby is that these languages were created to serve general purposes of programming and later on adopted for website development and that is why apps could not be so easily created via these platforms.

• Still now PHP is the biggest used platform for developing websites- For imparting practical programming skills PHP is still the best platform. An impressive 80% of websites as well as web apps are developed via PHP. Whereas the total shares of Ruby and Python is 7%.

I have seen many programmers who after working for a considerable time with Python or Ruby have shifted to PHP as lots of website related works can be performed with it.

Total shares of WordPress, Joomla and Drupal to run popular websites all over the world is 30% and PHP is the base upon which all these 3 CMS platforms are located.

All the above mentioned reasons hold good with selecting PHP training courses for you, to start a lucrative career in web development. My suggestion is to go for it after a good deal of research to select the best coaching institution or online tutorial.
