190X6 Choosing a Programming Language

 |  No Comments

When designing a software solution to a problem we must consider which programming language is suitable for the project

Exercise

Your web development company has been asked to build a back end server program that will work with a database. PHP has been chosen as the programming language

Why?

  1. is it suitable in terms of features?
  2. are special tools needed to produce this code and its programs?
  3. is it reliable in this purpose?
  4. how difficult is it to find suitable trained staff?
  5. will it be easy to redevelop the program(s) in the future?
  6. will it be difficult to expand the program to do new things?
  7. will the code be easy to maintain?
  8. is the chosen language compatible with the company (organisational policy?)
    (or is it a departure from our normal activities?)
