Hei
I am developing a web application for a online library management systems for a client (example), where teachers can assign books and students can read and rate the books.
So i think its kind of MVC kind of web application, So here My clinet has already login module and he is going to supply users (teachers/students) via Rest API call at this url: example.com , and for book-rating , accessing-books and for other statistics i am asked to use tincan API. So definately my web application will be on diffrent server ,then i think all API calls should be by server side programming (please comment if i can do on client as well and also how ?).
So my Question is : I am newbie to PHP programming ,angular JS and Node.js. In these 2 server side programming languages (PHP and Node.js) which one would be more suitable choice, Just for the fact i am more comfortable with JS code, But i have never done server side programming also this question is not just to find out the diffrence between PHP and node.js , I really need to know
1) what kind of problems i would get if i do api calls from client side(if at all possible).
2) I did not quite understood from internet sources :"There would be problems with headers & cross site scrpting" ? , In what way they would effect my application.
3) Just in case if i choose Node js now, would there by any performance issues or any other ?
4) Whats the real advantage of PHP server side programming compared to Node.js and vice versa.
Any kind of good resources, suggestions, information are much apprciated. I really want to understand this particular area of web development cycle.
Thanks in advance
