Good day, Steemian and Tech lovers! in today's tech post, we are going to look out programming languages used to develop and designed both the front-end and back-end of most popular websites.
Programming language is the act of creating whatever you want computers to perform with your brain and a computer. An instruction/algorithm is written in form of codes, computer processes the algorithm written and gives the predefined result as output if no error occurs in the codes.
A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs to control the behaviour of a machine or to express algorithms.
However, we have different aspect of programming languages developers can delve into the likes of Mobile developer, Software developer, Web developer, Blockchain developer etc.
Most websites we see today are programmed in Web Programming Languages such as HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, Python etc and most websites nowadays include web application.
web application are applications/software hosted on the server for it usage e.g office365 where Microsoft word processor can be used on the web, Gmail etc some classified web application as an interactive website where one or more actions can be performed/done e.g chatting, sending of documents etc.

a nice little chart to know :)
cheers!
Yes , Because of php is open source language . 75% of web application build on various php framework like codigniter. php is easy to implement and easy to understand of working .
Good idea for Web app developer great post.
