Top 3 Back-End Programming Languages for Web Developers In 2022
The rest you can ignore (at least for now)
Front-end development technologies are easy. It is down to three languages, HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
What is problematic sometimes for web developers that want to enter back-end development, is what back-end programming language to choose?
Let me make it very easy for you because for general-purpose back-end web development (not software development) your choice comes down only really to three languages.
(1) JavaScript
If I was starting back-end development right now there would be no other choice than JavaScript.
If you are a front-end web developer or at least started a little bit of web development at all, you most likely came across and learned a little bit of JavaScript.
If you know a little bit of JavaScript already then you can relatively quickly jump on Express or Next.js and start developing in these back-end frameworks.
And these are just to start with and there are many more back-end JavaScript frameworks.
They are fast, scalable, and with integration to most popular database engines like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB so you don't need to look…
