Thumbs up Re: Help needed - planning a career as a web developer

JSP is still widely used for mainstream projects.

PHP has some security issue if not optimized properly, so not many companies use it for website development.

IMO, go for JSP...

Thumbs up Re: Help needed - planning a career as a web developer

since you have the basic knowledge of php,linux,mysql. it will be easy for you to move in opensource.
you want to move in web designing.. there are many applications for that http://drupal.org,http://moodle.org/,http://joomla.org etc..... where you can create nice web applications

when compared commercial tools and open source tools..

open source has many tools and lot of options (becoz you have the code)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...gement_systems

open source- open your mind
open source ROCKS!

I am working as a web designer for past 6 yrs and i can tell you it is always better to learn JSP. It will help you getting a nice job or even freelance.

Top MNCs always prefer JSP and PHP is hardly used anywhere these days.

I will also suggest you to go for JSP, infact learning Java web services side by side would be a plus. PHP is not bad but being it an old technology used in web creation, there is a great competition.
I'm not much into PHP and as compared to Java, learning PHP seems tough to me. JSP can be learnt by self study if you know basics of core java or C++. Syntax is more or less similar but you need to practice a lot. I too completed MCA from ignou in 2005..

Smile Re: Help needed - planning a career as a web developer

let me clear one thing
JAVA has not taken a birth as a web technology , it was intentionally designed for device communication By James Gosling.
And if we talk about PHP and .Net , they were specially launched as a web technology.

Any way following disscusion thread may help you a lot.
