The future development prospect of PHP

PHP has a history of more than 20 years since its birth. From the rise of the WEB era to the upsurge of mobile Internet, various programming languages and technologies have emerged one after another in the Internet field, but none of them can defend the position of PHP in the development of the Internet, especially in the Web field.

As an old-fashioned Web back-end programming language, PHP has a very high market share in the world. Judging from the data of various recruitment websites, there are many positions developed by PHP, and the salary level is also very good.

What is the current situation of PHP?

PHP technology and related talents cater to the current development trend of the Internet. PHP can be used for website development, API interface development, server-side development, advertising system development, internal OA system development, mobile-side background development, game development and so on.

Especially in today's rapid development of mobile Internet, PHP technology is favored by many Internet companies, not to mention small and medium-sized enterprises.

Therefore, in the era of rapid development of IT industry and Internet, the demand for PHP programmers from enterprises has also increased greatly. We can see that major websites in China, including JD.COM, Baidu, Netease, Sina, Sohu, Alibaba, Qihoo and Tencent, are looking for PHP experts.

In recent years, various enterprises have released recruitment information, and the demand for talents has exceeded 60,000. However, due to the shortage of domestic PHP talents and the imperfect training system, domestic Web developers do not know enough about the value of PHP. We see that only 6000 people have signed up, and the talent gap is actually 10: 1, and PHP talents are very scarce. This position is the hottest among programmers, and this serious shortage will be aggravated in the next few years.

The development momentum of PHP is unstoppable, and it will remain the mainstream technology system in the future WEB development field.
