WampServer 3 web server build overview

 Note! It is not recommended to use a web server collection as a platform for hosting sites both on the Internet and in corporate networks, i.e. they are created for local development and testing only. This is a recommendation from the developers of any web server build. WampServer is a free build of a web server, i.e. platform for web development under the Windows operating system. This assembly includes all the necessary software for creating dynamic web applications (sites), namely: Apache web server, PHP programming language, MySQL DBMS and other auxiliary software, such as phpMyAdmin. For those who don't know WAMP is an acronym for "Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP" i.e. a word consisting of the first letters of the listed applications. There is also LAMP, where L is Linux, and MAMP, where M is Mac OS. WampServer is available for both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows. The system tray icon acts as a control panel here, with the help of which (left-click) you can configure the ...

 What is this rating based on?




All the programming languages ​​that are presented in this material did not get here by chance, they are all really popular and in demand, which is proved by numerous indicators, indices and various analytical data.

All these data and indicators form special services, however, each of these services uses its own programming language ranking algorithm.

Someone is based on the frequency of language mentions in search engine queries, someone is based on the number of questions asked about a particular language in specialized forums, and someone is based on the number of projects implemented in a particular language.

In any case, separately, each of these ratings does not reflect the exact actual popularity of a particular programming language, since data from only one indicator is often taken as a basis. And some ratings simply contradict each other.

However, if we analyze all the sources, we can identify several languages ​​that are most often found in the top of each rating and we can conclude that they are really popular and in demand, in all areas, and not just in any one.

Thus, in order to simplify your task in analyzing all the necessary information, this material presents the TOP 7 programming languages, which is based on data from all popular official ratings and indicators for the previous year.

Data sources (official indicators, indexes and ratings of programming languages):

TIOBE - the index is based on data from search engines Google, Bing, Yahoo;
PYPL (PopularitY of Programming Language) - the rating is based on data from the Google search engine;
IEEE Spectrum - Interactive: The Top Programming Languages ​​- Based on 11 metrics from 8 sources: Google search, Twitter mentions, GitHub repositories, Stack Overflow questions, Reddit posts, Hacker News posts, Job openings on CareerBuilder and IEEE Job Site;
GitHub - based on the statistics of the use of programming languages ​​in repositories;
Stack Overflow - based on the number of questions related to the programming language;
W3Techs - based on the number of sites using a particular programming language;
Among other things, the frequency of mentions in vacancies on HeadHunter was taken into account. In some controversial moments, of course, personal preferences, knowledge and opinion were connected.
