I personally like PHP the most, but javascript is also a great tool.

PHP may not be the best and most efficient language, but it sure is the easiest to learn and can get the job done.

Here is a code I recently put together for a client that increased their profits:

Code:

<?php
if ( wp_is_mobile() ) {

if(date("Hi") < 1800 && date("Hi") > 800){

echo "<center><h2>Call <b>(555) 555-5555</b> for Free Consultation</h2></center>";
}

else {

echo $consultationform;

}
}
?>

If the user is visiting the Wordpress site on a Mobile phone and hours are between 8AM and 6PM then display Phone Number, otherwise show Consultation Form.

This increased calls because Mobile users were more likely to click the phone number link than fill out the form.

I'm learning Python, for many reasons:

- it's easy to write and read
- it's a general purpose language
- it's widely used all around the world


With Python you can build websites, softwares, data mining apps, web crawlers, and many other useful things...

And for python we can say that is smart choice? Why?

What about C++ and Java? They are very hard for learning, but we can see there is great demand,
 freelancing jobs on net are very popular now.

Do you know about the TIOBE index?

Java has been Nr. 1 on the list for many years now,
with C++ always in the top 5.

it is more about what you want to do than what is more profitable

think about what you want to do, then look for the best means

Pepe thinks that the tool is not so important, but how well you master the tool.

There are many ways to achieve a goal.

Whether a language is "proftitable" or not, depends on the projects you realise using it.

If you got a nice game idea, you may get profit using C++ or C# in combination with Unreal Engine or Unity Engine.
If you got a nice app idea, you may get profit using Java for Android apps OR Swift for iOS apps.
If you got a nice website idea, you may get profit using HTML, CSS, JS and PHP | NodeJS.

You cannot determine the profit of such projects in early days, but after some time you may can. Promotion is also a very important factor.

C and reverse engineering (malware) via ASM in the security industry could be most profitable.

Aside from whatever language people use to collect bug bounties / security vulnerability bounties.
