I’m building a website for my friend’s startup.
I’m currently building it on PHP, MySQL, Apache. Everything is going pretty smooth till now, but one of my friend recommends i move to a Java framework because that’d be better when the site becomes bigger.
I don’t have any Java Knowledge and I have adequate knowledge of PHP but I’m a fast learner
Should i continue with PHP (can PHP be used for big sites?) or should i move to a Java Framework?
Any suggestions please.
I think regardless of whether you go with PHP or a Java solution you’re going to have to learn a new set of frameworks/libraries. If you don’t have experience building anything more than a toy website (including any you’ve done through education) there will be plenty to learn from both paths.
Research some frameworks for both PHP and Java and make up your own mind based on what you’ve read. If it’s such a long project you’ll have plenty of time to familiarise yourself with whichever option you choose.
