Which technology(s) / language(s) to write linux web application/service? [closed]
- by Lee Tickett
I am currently playing with some open source home automation software www.domotiga.nl
The software is built in Gambas2 (a graphical programming language similar to visual basic). I am considering building something similar or porting domotiga to a server based application/service.
The application would need a web front end and i will likely be developing in debian (arm). But i'm not sure if php or python are suitable for server based applications which need to be always running (collecting data etc) rather than just running when accessed.
Which technology(s) / language(s) would you suggest i look into?
I used to do a lot of Visual Basic, then VB.NET, now C# and have played with php a few years back- but don't really want this to sway the decision too much as i should be able to pickup whatever language if i decide to proceed.
