It's not my intention to start a web technology war so be nice do not do that 😁

Short Info: I'm "desktop programmer" (if that word exists) in either C # or Java 😎

question: I would like to create my own website, just simple to start with and maybe expand it later with eg. Arduino temperature meter
I have a look at 2 programming languages ​​that I can build it in, Js or PHP. I just do not know which one to choose, I'm probably the most to Js, but what are the pros and cons of these 2 and / or is there a completely different programming language I have to take a look at?

question

php

newbie

website

js

    @bigworld12 That's also an option. had completely forgotten asp.net. I did not mention from the start that it is also because I would like to learn a new language 🤓

    @JKielsgaard I've created some websites with "SparkJava" (sparkjava.com, has nothing to do with Apache Spark), you can write the Backend in Java/any JVM language (I'd recommend Kotlin too). As you're already familiar with Java, I guess that could be a good idea.

    if it's just a website with static data, use html/css/js,for dynamic data include php

    @bigworld12 when you write "include php" do you mean as in use HTML,CSS,js and php together?

    What kind of website are we talking?

    Just a static site/ template collecting data from an arduino or will that data be stored somewhere else first?

    @C0D4 The arduino part is an additional project, but had in mind that there should be some form of API the arduino can call and change data.

    This is the right question. First you have to know what you woud build and then you have to choose the tools.

    @JackToolsNet I know what I want to do, I probably have not been clear about it 🤓.

    I want a kind of profile / cv website and then I would like to add small widgets like arduino temperature later

    If you don’t want to use C# / Java, you could use PHP or nodeJS for the api / rest calls to the arduino and then JS for the passing of data and displaying it to the front end in what I assume is a temperature gauge or charts of some kind.

    I would look at what data you want to collect, and then what data you need so you can display it in the form you want. Find a way to bridge those together, almost any web language will get this task done though for the api calls anyway.

    @JKielsgaard then I choose nodejs for Front and Backend

    Html, css, and js is for front-end, you can use any for the back-end, php (since you mentioned it), c#, java

    have you heard of backend-as-a-service. search it 😄

    I’d probably go the ASP route too, C# and .NET is my primary ecosystem, so it’d make total sense, especially with something like .net core etc.

    @Bitwise thanks I think that was the information that I needed, I have never work with web development and want to try to learn the basics and now I have info i research more on.
