The PHP track will only take 32 hours (if I'm not mistaken), while python has the same but they have another track which is Django. Which one should I go for? PHP or Python? I'm from Philippines and I did a little research.... It appears that PHP has a lot of job opportunities here compared to Python. Please advise. Thanks! :)

And if you ever want to learn Python, you can definitely look for other online resources or books to do some self-study on the topic. I wish you the best in your upcoming learning!

1,614 PointsPython is a user-friendly language, and it's used by most universities for a beginner language. I would recommend learning Python, and learn pretty deep about it. PHP isn't so friendly, but can be understandable once you get a concept of it. Also, PHP is used with many other languages, like Javasript, SQL, and HTML. So I'd say that's pretty heavy for a long-term run.
