In recent years, we can see that enterprises are using PHP more widely. At the same time, the demand for PHP-related web development talents is heating up rapidly; analysis of websites in different industries in China , we can see that major domestic websites, including Google, Baidu, NetEase, Sina, Sohu, Alibaba, Qihoo, eBay, Tencent, Yahoo, Kingsoft, etc., are looking for PHP experts. This year, various companies have released recruitment information for PHP talents, and there is a huge demand for talents. However, due to insufficient domestic PHP talent reserves, incomplete training systems, and domestic web developers' insufficient understanding of the value of PHP, PHP talents are very scarce.
Based on the above information, Guoxin Education will work with you to analyze the development status and employment prospects of PHP in China.
What is PHP:
PHP is the abbreviation of the English hypertext preprocessing language Hypertext Preprocessor. PHP is an HTML embedded language. It is a scripting language that is executed on the server side to embed HTML documents. The style of the language is similar to C language. At the same time, PHP, like ASP and JAVA, is a commonly used web programming language. It is a language that can run in most operating system environments such as Windows and Linux. It is often used on the Linux platform (referred to as LAMP) in conjunction with the open source free Web service Apache and database Mysql. It has the highest cost performance and is known as the "Web architecture" Golden combination".
The development status of PHP
From the history of web development, PHP, Python and Ruby appeared almost at the same time, and they are all very distinctive and excellent. It is an open source language, but PHP has gained much more attention than Python and Ruby. PHP topped the TIOBE rankings in November, surpassing C++, Java and other languages.
PHP, C++, and Java are all excellent scripting languages. Why is PHP so popular and ranked first? On the surface, this is due to the employment environment. More and more new companies or new projects use PHP, which makes PHP-related communities more and more active, which in turn affects the choices of many projects or companies, forming a virtuous cycle. As far as we know so far, PHP is the first choice for most domestic web projects, and many companies have switched to PHP from other languages (such as ASP, JAVA). The right one is the best. PHP is fast, has low development costs, short cycles, low post-maintenance costs, and rich open source products. These are incomparable to the other two languages.
Currently, more than 60% of the world's 50 million Internet websites use PHP technology; the number of PHP practitioners will increase by 42% in 2011, far exceeding JAVA's 13% and .NET's 24%; PHP is also selected. The world's top five most popular programming languages, and the only scripting language selected; more than 80% of domestic dynamic websites are developed using PHP; among the Alexa TOP500 Chinese websites, 394 use PHP technology, accounting for 78.8%.
The following is a comparison of the number of included pages:
The inclusion of various types in search engines proves that there are many languages that can develop websites, and there is only one that can be proficient in; in terms of web technology, Php application Wider.
All the above information is sending us a signal: PHP technology is currently very powerful.
Prospects and employment status of PHP
With the heating up of Web2.0, the development of the Internet has ushered in a new round of boom. Due to the rapid development and continuous innovation of the Internet itself The characteristics of the website determine that only with the fastest development speed and the lowest cost can we win, maintain the leading position of a website and attract more netizens. The core of Internet enterprise survival and competition lies in technology. Technology and R&D talents will always be indispensable key figures for these enterprises. Only with senior talents and leading technology can we create excellent network applications in the shortest time.
PHP technology and related talents cater to the current development trend of the Internet. As a very excellent and simple web development language, PHP is closely integrated with Linux, Apache, and MySQL to form the open source golden combination of LAMP , not only reduces the cost of use, but also improves the development speed to meet the latest interactive network development applications.
Therefore, in the era of rapid development of the IT industry and the Internet, the demand for PHP programmers from enterprises has also increased significantly. The supply and demand ratio of PHP programmers and recruitment positions is 1:40, and many companies cannot recruit for half a year. Find a suitable PHP programmer. This position is the most popular among programmers, and this situation of serious shortage of supply will become more and more serious in the next few years.
In response to the introduction of the above information, Guoxin Education also summarized several reasons why it is recommended to learn PHP software engineers:
1. Low admission threshold
Among the development languages such as C/C++, JAVA, PHP, and ASP, PHP is the easiest language to learn. The learning cost is 1/10 of C and JAVA, and 1/2 of ASP. The courses set up by Guoxian Education can fully ensure that students with zero starting points, computer-related majors in school or working in society will have the practical ability to develop PHP Web for one year.
2. Small industry competition
PHP is developing rapidly. There are basically no PHP courses in universities, and there are few capable training institutions. As a result, there are very few programmers who master PHP. From the perspective of job hunting, comparing PHP recruitment information with JAVA or ASP, PHP recruitment volume reaches 1/3 of JAVA and ASP, but PHP applicants are only 1/40 of JAVA and ASP.
3. Great social demand
Most Internet-related companies such as Baidu, Sina, Sohu, Taobao, Dangdang, Tencent QQ, etc. are using PHP. There is a strong demand for PHP talents. However, the most troublesome problem for Internet companies is that they cannot recruit personnel with actual PHP learning experience, let alone personnel who have received professional training in PHP.
4. Great development prospects
In the pervasive Internet application environment, new concepts such as Web2.0, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things will continue to give birth to new industries and services. The technical system that supports these new industries and services is none other than PHP. With the rise of 3G and mobile Internet technology, more and more WEB applications have chosen PHP as the mainstream technical solution.
In comparison with other similar programming languages, PHP has the characteristics of fast development, high operating efficiency, good security, strong scalability, open source and freedom; looking back on the development process of PHP in the past 10 years, Looking forward to the development trend of the Internet industry in the future, we can conclude that PHP's development momentum is unstoppable and will surely become the mainstream technology system in the field of WEB development in the future.
At the same time, our Guoxin Education has also integrated PHP related positions, as follows:
