What’s up!
I have always been motivated to learn and know more about Web programming languages, tools, methods..etc. All programming languages have something in common and I’ll show you the similarities in a minute. For example, the following code will do two simple things:
- Save a variable; which is an identifier for a specific value.
- Print the value of a variable.
You won’t have to do or follow anything, just try to find the resemblance between the two languages I’ll use now:
language: PHP
<?php //this is a comment /* this is another code comment, which will not have any effect on the code. Developers use these comments as a reference to know what they have done in this area, or what they should do! */ //Now this is variable called "text" being set to the value "Hello, World!" $text = "Hello, World!"; //and now, displaying the value of this variable, this will be the PHP script output echo $text; ?>
And now.. the same code but using JavaScript
//this is a comment /* this is another code comment, which will not have any effect on the code. Developers use these comments as a reference to know what they have done in this area, or what they should do! */ //Now this is variable called "text" being set to the value "Hello, World!" var text = "Hello, World!"; //and now, displaying the value of this variable, this will be the javascript output document.write(text);
Web programming languages and techniques can never be explained in a single post. I’ll keep on posting educational articles on the basics of web development languages, techniques, and tools.. and simple How-To guides. Was that useful? drop a comment!

I honestly find this confusing;s but I love the idea behind ur blog
It would be great if you can point out what you mean on the code itself (using arrows for example).. I only understood the part about the 2 languages
