As an IT practitioner, let me answer this question.

First of all, App development requires the participation of a series of development roles, involving back-end development engineers and front-end development engineers, and there are currently a variety of different solutions in the choice of technology. From the current PHP application scenario, the PHP language can be used for back-end service development.

PHP language is a relatively popular programming language within the IT (Internet) industry, but because PHP language is mainly used in Web development scenarios, PHP language has not gained more attention in the current era of big data and artificial intelligence. Although the PHP language has not expanded its development boundaries in the era of big data, it is still one of the most popular programming languages due to the very large market size in the web development space.

Currently, app development can be divided into mobile development and server-side (back-end) development, in the mobile development mainly involves Android development and iOS development two major blocks, of which Android development can be used in Java and kotlin, while the iOS development can be used in OC and Swift. of course, the mobile development can be used a variety of technologies, and frameworks (hybrids) can also be used to speed up the development process.

The choice of back-end development technologies is also relatively large, the more common back-end development programs include Java, Python and PHP, etc. In the era of big data and cloud computing, the use of Go language is also a good choice. From this perspective, mastering PHP is also possible to join the mobile Internet development team.

Finally, the advantages of PHP language itself are more, including sound language ecosystem and shorter development cycle, etc. However, since PHP language has not gained more application scenarios under the emerging technology system of big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, so for PHP programmers, they can pay attention to the Python language in order to improve their job level and the value of the workplace.

I have been engaged in the Internet industry for many years, and I am currently taking graduate students majoring in computer science, and my main research direction is focused on the field of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, and I will write some articles on Internet technology one after another, and friends who are interested in it can pay attention to me, and I believe that they will definitely get something out of it.

If you have questions about the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, or graduate school, you can leave a message in the comments section or write to me privately!
