Questions and answers

The difference between PHP web development and Python web development is the programming language. Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is an open source scripting language that is often used for server-side web development. As open source, it is simple and easy to use. Python, on the other hand, is an object-oriented, interpreted high-level programming language. This language is free and open source and is easy to learn and program. Both PHP and Python are excellent programming languages that are suitable for web and app development.

A Junior Web Developer performs the following activities:
