g-g-gee you already know simple job back at it again man coding face.com make sure you subscribe make sure you like this video and matter-of-fact man make sure you check the web style coding phase calm your boys back check the resources alright listen I'm going to tell you guys my PHP story and why am I gonna say it as well I got a little comment where you know Trump supporter which is funny he has Benny you advised mu developers to learn PHP to find a job easier that you learn PHP at first are you still a PHP developer what back in languages can you code now alright let's break it down so when I first started in this thing I was just doing fronting pretty much just transforming a PSD into HTML and CSS that's how I started then from there started messing around with some JavaScript some jQuery right now once you get to a certain point and you're like oh man I wanted to get a couple of clients you know everywhere I went everybody was talking about WordPress WordPress and I'm like damn man what the hell is WordPress so I basically I downloaded all the freaking library or the framework whatever you want to call it and that was my first introduction to PHP matter of fact no the first introduction to PHP was a long time ago and back then I was just like I don't understand this I'm gone I left that alone right so that fast forward to when I started learning how to code the proper way right so pretty much I decided you know I had this client who wanted me to build him a website for it was like a movie right and pretty much what I did just build it with WordPress and I was like oh man I'm a developer now I'm doing you know I'm doing the front end I don't even know anything front-end or back-end it was more like oh I build the website for this person right come on you I was like man this thing is great whatever times goes on and I come back again and started making another website WordPress and I started noticing a lot of limitations in my head back then I thought that was PHP I thought that's how PHP was I thought that WordPress was PHP I was like super beginning back then right so I kind of left it alone and then the whole industry started talking about no genius this nodejs that and everywhere I went everybody was be like oh man PHP sucks PHP is the worst language out there I was like man PHP I'm not touching PHP because that is old everybody says that it's old and you know I'm listening to everybody in the internet because I didn't know better I wasn't working in the industry you know I didn't know that when people put comments on the Internet it's more like their opinions it doesn't mean that's how it really is in the industry it's more like a personal opinion it's like if I hate c-sharp I could go and leave a comment be like oh man don't are c-sharp man that's for four squares and losers right but the industry actually use c-sharp there's more websites more companies that use c-sharp then of nodejs so yeah you know what I mean some but whatever so basically I stopped even trying to get into PHP I stopped and I was like all the way in the beginning in the beginning of my career that was from year one all right I have five years on this thing I had five years in the industry I had five years working as a developer five years making professional websites so from year one to year three I didn't touch PHP ever again because I'm the intern everybody's like oh man I don't want to deal with this right but that puts so much limitations on me because number one I didn't know my sequel number two every time somebody will come to me but I hey can you build this in the backend or use this framework like laravel or CodeIgniter or right I would be like now all I could do is just the front end I could make the desire for you I could build the HTML the CSS and some jQuery for you that's a now from there I went to another company where they were making millions of dollars right and advertising was an advertising company and they were all just using PHP and I was like man I thought PHP was dead and nobody you know nobody care about this thing my was like 2013 around that 2013-2014 around there and I was like man this is cool I thought it was like pretty shitty and nobody uses it and like no major company is using then I found out that I'm losing out on so many freaking jobs I realized I was putting myself in a little box where I was just like hey all I know is HTML CSS and JavaScript which I wasn't expanding my mind as far as like programming learning different languages learning different databases my sequel put on Postgres sequel server or you know even my goal to be a whole bunch of different technologies that I was just missing out on just because I kept listening to everybody on the internet and that was like on team treehouse I used to be on team treehouse forest all the time and people talk about PHP and I was like man now that I think about him like I should have been doing this from the beginning because even when I on my first year when I first started looking for a job there was a whole bunch of jobs that said PHP and I would just go right over it because I don't know no PHP I don't know anything the backing I don't know about my sequel so now fast forward now basically almost all my personal projects I do it on PHP laravel right why because I love Ruby on Rails but to be honest with you guys Ruby on Rails is is like something that and not gonna say is dying but most companies are not gonna basically put money into Ruby on Rails so like let's say if I wanted to look for a job for Ruby on Rails I have to be like extremely good in review or else you just don't get hired for it to become a ruby developer you have to be like a senior level with like five years of experience being a back-end developer or more and I don't have that you know so I have like two years of back-end development but in total of five years of like as a web developer right so that's why I choose laravel right because there's so many companies that's hiring there's so many companies that is constantly sending messages like man we want to hire you we want you for this and that like everybody knows I'm good with JavaScript like no lie I don't want to like put myself up here but this not that many people that could with me in JavaScript like I know that she like the back of my hand like straight up now PHP it might have BES in PHP probably not because there's probably guys who've been doing this for 10-15 years you know what I mean like time does make a difference when it comes to development and experiments well yeah man so that's like my story of PHP so that answers everything like do I advise new developers to learn PHP yes because it's gonna open doors for you like a lot of doors like when I learn PHP that thing just the gates were open for me straight up like I felt like I couldn't learn any other language out there I could learn any back-end language after PHP it's like right now working on on crystal lang crystal lang is not the easiest language out there and I'm I'm getting really really good on it I'm getting so good that I'm making tutorials on it and like I'm doing great you know what I mean and I make a lot of money in my company because I'm a PHP laravel developer you know I mean if I wanted to I could go remote because there's a million jobs that are remote which is what a lot of you guys want right so yeah man definitely learn PHP and that's my PHP story man yeah I almost didn't learn PHP because I kept seeing on the Internet PHP sucks or PHP is dead or PHP is the worst language PHP is slow it might be all of that but there's money to be made you know what I mean like I work in PHP is now our favorite language but when I get home I work on something cool like crystal you know what I mean I'll work on something cool like nodejs or electron I have our electron app that I'm working on - you know what I mean so yeah make sure you subscribe make sure you like this video man your boy is back you already lost a book Joe aka I do this a K you boy -
