y favorite is PHP. Building a workload-capable prototype doesn't take a lot of time. The programmer forms the backbone of the future product, goes very quickly. For more datils visit my blog www.dumpsschool.com
So What's Next?
@harendrasingh The real question here is what is your next project? And only after learning that can I precisely suggest whether to choose Node.JS or PHP for your next project. I would suggest that you read this blog to get a detailed idea on the same: https://www.excellentwebworld.co... In the mean time, I will mention a few pointers that may clear out any doubts you have for Node.JS vs. PHP. PHP Vs. Node.JS: Who's the best? *Frameworks* PHP has many popular PHP frameworks like Codeigniter, Laravel, symphony, CakePHP, etc. Node.js too has several cool frameworks such as Express.JS, Meteor, Hapi.JS, Koa.JS, etc. *Application Area* PHP is widely used for developing CPU intensive applications and also creating CMS to build blogs, websites, and e-commerce websites. Node.JS is used for developing server-side solutions because of non-blocking I/O, and event-driven model. *Databases* PHP works with traditional databases like MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL. Node.JS works seamlessly with No SQL databases such as MongoDB, Couch DB, and graph database system like neo4j. >>>Conclusion<<< PHP is the best answer for you if you are looking for some enterprise solutions like CMS, CRM, and ERP. If you want to build real-time applications like online games, video, text chat engines, and trello then Node.js is perfect for you.

@harendrasingh I was a PHP developer for a fer years. it's my main first language and language that i used at my job. So my answer - nodejs. because PHP is a dead horse. nodejs community are more solid and active - so as i'm a lazy developer and dont want to reinvent the wheel all the time - i'm using npm instead of do it from scratch. Another point that a lot of new dev tools actually have a better support of nodejs. --- I has hope that Yii Framework will be like a fresh air for PHP community - but as main developers there has a 9-5 jobs it was slow down and ... they trying to raise it from ashes - also started an OpenCollective page https://opencollective.com/yiisoft but without fresh blood - Other point to think - a lot of people jump to Laravel, while Yii migrate to v2 --- Btw, check an URL for this page. 666 is definately a sign ;)
