I’m Delphi developer, and I would like to build few web applications, I know about Intraweb, but I think it’s not a real tool for web development, maybe for just intranet applications
so I’m considering PHP, Python or ruby, I prefer python because it’s better syntax than other( I feel it closer to Delphi), also I want to deploy the application to shared hosting, specially Linux.
so as Delphi developer, what do you choose to develop web application?
PHP is the best to start, but as experienced programmer you may want to look at Python, because PHP is a C style language. Python would be easier after Pascal, I think.
Take a look at examples:
On PHP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Php#Syntax
On Python: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)#Syntax_and_semantics
Note, that Ruby and Python are rarely used by them selves in web-development. Usually Django and Ruby on railes frameworks are used. In PHP there are several variants. You can code from the scratch, or also use some framework.
I used to code on PHP for about five years and now started to learn Django (python based framework) and I think it’s the best thing there is. Take a look: http://djangoproject.com/
