So would you recommend me to "dump" Python and use JavaScript for any future web apps i might build or is there not much difference?

- kls 16y agoThat is really a personal preference on how you like to develop web apps, but from my observation, a lot of new projects that I have been exposed to are forgoing your traditional server side web layer (e.g Struts and Tile in the Java world) and using a CMS to do static templating (pushing static HMTL to a web server) and JavaScript widgets / JSON for the dynamic stuff that communicates to REST services on an application server. They are then using server side languages they are comfortable with (in your case Python), to implement JSON services. It is less "dumping" Python and more using Python to emit and consume JSON.
- CyberFonic 16y agoSyntactically Python and JavaScript are very different languages but the underlying concepts have a fair bit in common. With the emergence of HTML5 there is going to be increasing amounts of demand for more browser side JS coding. On the server side it depends on the framework you choose. Can recommend using Chrome, the developer tools are built-in and very good.
