5 Best Programming Languages for Web Development in 2022

Without wasting any time, here is a list of the best programming languages for web development, In the order of their importance and popularity.

Though, you don’t need to learn all of these programming languages, choose the one which you like and which meets your requirement. If you are stuck or get confused, choose JavaScript, as you can never get wrong with that.

1. JavaScript

There is no doubt that JavaScript is the King of web development and probably the most popular language among web developers. It’s also the only language that allows you to create web applications, both frontend, and backend as well as mobile applications (React Native).

The strength of Javascript is not just it can run on browser and server using Nodejs but also the awesome frameworks and libraries it has for web development and app development.

For example, you can use React.js and Angular for frontend, Nodejs for backend, and React Native for creating cross-platform (both Android and iOS) mobile apps.

2. Python

Python is another language which has gained a lot of popularity in recent year. While it's not exactly new and has passed the test of time, it's probably the most versatile programming language at the moment.

You can use Python for web development, Data Science, Scripting, and Automation. Similar to JavaScript, Python also enjoys huge community support and has a lot of useful frameworks, libraries, and tools that can help you create a web application in a quick time.

For example, you can use Django to create full-stack web applications. If you want more control, you can also use Flask, a minimalist web development framework.

3. TypeScript

TypeScript is my personal favorite and a modern programming language for web development. Just like we have C and C++, TypeScript can be considered as JavaScript++ though it’s not as popular as C++.

The good part of TypeScript is that it adds type-safety in JavaScript code which means you can catch nasty JavaScript type-related errors in the development phase.

It also makes developing object-oriented code easy for JavaScript and several inbuilt debugging tools of TypeScript make web development really easy.

4. PHP

I may get a lot of flaks for including PHP in this list of best programming languages for web development in 2022 but to be honest, PHP is one of the best programming languages when it comes to creating web applications.

It’s a dynamic, server-side scripting language that makes it really easy to create fully functional web applications. If that’s not enough, half of the internet is running on PHP’s shoulder, remember WordPress, the most popular web application software is made on PHP.

PHP also has frameworks like Laraval, which is both powerful and allows you to swiftly create web applications using a model–view–controller architectural pattern.

5. Ruby

Ruby is another programming language that is really great for web development. Similar to PHP and Python, Ruby is also easy to learn and goo for beginners.

What makes Ruby special for web development is the Ruby on Rails framework which powers websites like Github, Shopify, Airbnb, Groupon, GoodReads, and Kickstarter.

If you don’t know, Rails is a model–view–controller (MVC) framework, providing default structures for a database, a web service, and web pages. It encourages and facilitates the use of web standards such as JSON or XML for data transfer and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for user interfacing

6. HTML and CSS

While HTML and CSS are not really programming languages (well, some of you may not agree but yes, they are not the programming language) but they are the backbone for web development and every web developer must learn them.

HTML provides the structure while CSS provides the style and helps them to look better and more visually appealing. If you want to become a serious frontend developer then you must master these two in 2022.

That’s all about the best programming languages for WEb development in 2022. You can see there is no surprise, JavaScript is the king of Web development but Python is equally good. PHP and Ruby provide the easiest way to create web applications and TypoScript is the relatively new, modern, and promising programming language you can learn for creating web applications.

                                   What is JavaScript? JavaScript is a scripting language that is used to create and manage dynamic web pages, basically anything that moves on your screen without requiring you to refresh your browser. It can be anything from animated graphics to an automatically generated Facebook timeline.  Fig: JavaScript When most people get interested in web development, they start with good old HTML and CSS. From there, they move on to JavaScript, which makes sense, because, these three elements together form the backbone of web development. HTML is the structure of your page like the headers, the body text, any images you want to include. It basically defines the contents of a web page. CSS controls how that page looks (it’s what you’ll use to customize fonts, background colors, etc.). JavaScript is the third element. Once you’ve created your structure (HTML) and your ae...

What is React?

                                       What Is React? React is a  JavaScript -based UI development library. Facebook and an open-source developer community run it. Although React is a library rather than a language, it is widely used in web development. The library first appeared in May 2013 and is now one of the most commonly used frontend libraries for web development. React offers various extensions for entire application architectural support, such as Flux and React Native, beyond mere UI. Why React? React’s popularity today has eclipsed that of all other front-end development frameworks. Here is why: Easy creation of dynamic applications: React makes it easier to create dynamic web applications because it requires less coding and offers more functionality, as opposed to JavaScript, where coding often gets complex very quickly. Improved performance: React uses Virtual DOM, thereb...
