All server-side operations and interactions between the browser and database are referred to as backend development. Servers, databases, communication protocols, operating systems and software stack are the core tools used in backend development.<\/p>

JavaScript, PHP, Python, Java and Ruby are the known backend programming languages that most backend developers are using nowadays.<\/p>

A survey of\u00a0W3Techs<\/a>\u00a0claims that PHP is the most used backend language. Around 79.2% of web applications are using PHP as server-side applications.<\/p>

On the other hand,\u00a0Stack Overflow\u2019s 2020 Developer Survey<\/a>\u00a0shares that JavaScript is the top most used scripting language. Indeed, JavaScript got 69.7%, Python earned 41.6%, and PHP received 25.8% votes from professional developers in this survey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

JavaScript<\/strong>\u00a0(JS<\/strong>) is a lightweight, interpreted, or\u00a0just-in-time<\/a>\u00a0compiled programming language with\u00a0first-class functions<\/a>. While it is most well-known as the scripting language for Web pages,\u00a0many non-browser environments<\/a>\u00a0also use it, such as\u00a0Node.js<\/a>,\u00a0Apache CouchDB<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Adobe Acrobat<\/a>. JavaScript is a\u00a0prototype-based<\/a>, multi-paradigm, single-threaded, dynamic language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and declarative (e.g. functional programming) styles. Read more\u00a0about JavaScript<\/a>.<\/p>

This section is dedicated to the JavaScript language itself, and not the parts that are specific to Web pages or other host environments. For information about\u00a0APIs<\/a>\u00a0that are specific to Web pages, please see\u00a0Web APIs<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0DOM<\/a>.<\/p>

The standards for JavaScript are the\u00a0ECMAScript Language Specification<\/a>\u00a0(ECMA-262) and the\u00a0ECMAScript Internationalization API specification<\/a>\u00a0(ECMA-402). The JavaScript documentation throughout MDN is based on the latest draft versions of ECMA-262 and ECMA-402. And in cases where some\u00a0proposals for new ECMAScript features<\/a>\u00a0have already been implemented in browsers, documentation and examples in MDN articles may use some of those new features.<\/p>

Do not confuse JavaScript with the\u00a0Java programming language<\/a>. Both “Java” and “JavaScript” are trademarks or registered trademarks of Oracle in the U.S. and other countries. However, the two programming languages have very different syntax, semantics, and use.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

PHP (originally stood for Personal Home Page, then renamed to Hypertext Preprocessor) is an open-source server-side scripting language, developed in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf specifically for the web. What now makes PHP different than, for example, JavaScript is that the code is executed on the server, generating HTML which is then sent to the client. The client receives the results of running that script but doesn\u2019t know what the underlying code was.\u00a0<\/p>

Since its creation, PHP has become extremely popular and successful – almost\u00a080% of websites are built in PHP<\/a>, including web giants like Wikipedia, Facebook, Yahoo!, Tumblr and many more. PHP is also the language behind the most popular CMS (Content Management Systems) such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, WooCommerce and Shopify. PHP is a universal programming language that allows for building landing pages and simple WordPress websites, but also complex and massively popular web platforms like Facebook.\u00a0<\/p>

PHP is also considered as easy to learn (at least on an entry-level) and, according to\u00a0StackOverflow\u2019s annual survey<\/a>, is the most popular programming language of 30% of software developers.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Rails, or Ruby on Rails, is an open-source framework written with the Ruby programming language and founded in 2003 by David Heinemeier Hansson.<\/p>

Ruby on Rails companies don\u2019t have to rewrite every single piece of code in the process of web application development, thus reducing the time spent on basic tasks.<\/p>

Research by Slant<\/a>\u00a0states that Ruby on Rails is in 5th place among the most popular frameworks for back-end development.<\/p>

The number of websites built with the framework account for 350,000+ all over the world, and this number is rapidly growing.<\/p>

Open Source status is the first thing to take into consideration when choosing the right back-end framework. This means Ruby on Rails is free and can be used without any charge.<\/p>

The past few years have provided us with many success stories of startups that were able to launch a new web project on Ruby on Rails and acquire their first customers \u2014 all within a few weeks. Everything is possible thanks to a huge community and the support you can get as a result.<\/p>
