Guys, I started working on a few web dev projects the last weeks and I'd like to know your opinion on PHP. Is it a requirement for backend? Can I do the same using Node (or another?). I have pretty much no knowledge on it, but I have some xp with JavaScript. Is it worth to study PHP today?

    If you have a hosting service with a vserver like digitalocean stick to node / express. You'll will get the fastest results with something like www.meteor.com
    If you need a job it's good to know php and laravell.

    @heyheni thanks, the hosting service I currently use doesn't support a NodeJS instance, but I was thinking about using Node on a new project, hosted separately.

    Google cloud offers 3 container instances for free and there is redhats https://www.openshift.com

    Learn about docker, it allows you to install haselfree pre configured backend sets instantly, so you can concentrate on creating your frontend.

    And yeah meteor.js on digitalocean is awesome.

    If you combine it with the content delivery network www.cloudflare.com you get super powers. :D
