Used to do a fair bit of web front and back end coding for an old employer many moons ago (about 12 years ago) and used a lot of PHP, jQuery and MySQL. Left the industry and am in a completely unrelated one now. </p> <p>However a problem has come about that would benefit from a relatively simple webpage that I'd like to try and put together.</p> <p>Essentially, data will be requested from a source using its REST Api, which I would then process and display on a single page. There will be some interactivity to it, such as selecting a few options on each entry (considering saving these elsewhere as trying to avoid writing anything to the source server). </p> <p>Now, I could do this no problem with PHP and something like jQuery, but I can only assume things have moved on hugely since I last looked and so wondered if anyone had any recommendations on what else to look at before going back to PHP. </p> <p>Cheers</p> webdev javascript beginners programming
