advice What Programming Language is useful for a domainer?

[Sammy Jakes]

I have some free time now and I would like to learn coding.
I would like to know what programming language is useful for a domainer and what specific domaining problem can I solve with it?
Thanks

I am very sure. HTML, CSS, and Javascript works on Client Side, meanwhile PHP working on Server Side. two different things.

You can choose anything as you like for Server Side like PHP, Python, etc. but for Client Side the basic is HTML, CSS and Javascript

Update: Javascript works well on the server side too. Node.js works pretty good if you wear a helmet and some other important armour.

Indeed, but i am talking javascript as client side.

If you saw my previous post you can understand

I suggest you to learn Javascript and Python

HTML, CSS, Javascript are Mandatory
Javascript Path : Native & OOP, then Node.js, React.js, Express.js
Python Path : Native & OOP, then Django or Flask

But I prefer PHP for years

You can create API for Domain Backorder or Get Domain Name Sales from NameBio,
Generate Domain Name by Suffix or Preffix
Etc.

This is a great question and discussion that I have way too much experience with to answer in a short reply ha

I've been programming for over 30 years Ouch! My short answer is, use whatever programming language that makes you happy.

For me, I've been using php from way way back. Before that I used a bit of perl but I wanted a better user experience and php was it. I also coded many Flash projects using Lingo WOW!

The first language I learned of course was Basic and wrote an Asteroid Miner and Star Trek type game and saved it on punch tape - Ugh!

I then moved to Fortran, COBOL, Pascal, C and Java but I wasn't a big fan of any of them.

In the last year, I've been relearning my coding stack focusing on JavaScript and Node. I've been taking lots of Udemy courses to fill in all the technologies I've missed over the years.

I really like using all the amazing frameworks. For example, I've fallen in love with Vue, Nuxt and Quasar which are JavaScript frameworks. I considered the other major JavaScript frameworks Angular and React, but I really like Vue a lot more. Using Quasar, I can develop for all platforms with one code base which is very cool.

Here's an excellent video to see this in action.

That was the time!

If anybody is going to learn programming today in 2021, I'd recommend to read this first (old but still good... really):

Can anyone tell me the best programming language for making small websites or blogs.
And why?
Thank you

Wordpress.org

Just install the theme & *poof* it’s free
(Pay for hosting, but there some free sure)
Plus hosting is cheap imo; esp u needs start

*Note Wordpress.COM & .ORG are 2 DIFF 1’s.
Go with .ORG, over the .com, this ONE TIME,

A domainer should focus on domaining. There are already a lot of platforms to learn and keep track of. For example, you have to keep track of your domain listings on the various mainstream marketplaces. Learning a new programming language is a multi-year endeavor. You only have a finite amount of time. If you learn anything, learn a CMS (content management system) and learn security. It will be a lot quicker.

Front-end is html/javascript
I use blogger.com, its free, but more importantly instead of changing paid hosts all the time, the information has lasted there (No Geocities)

then as a domainer, can point to your own URL pages..

Problem is “blogger.com” is Google owned.

I try avoid Google, but i admit, what u say true.

Neither HTML nor CSS is going to be of much use to domainers.

Probably more so than a programming language, most domainers would benefit from learning how to use formulas in spreadsheets and a sophisticated text editor, such as Sublime Text (including its keyboard shortcuts and regular expressions).

You'd be able to significantly increase your efficiency in dealing with large lists of domains.

We hope that helps.

Great shout regarding Sublime text. Ctrl+Shift+L for the win! (Multi line editing to add .com or another extension to the end of a list of words is very useful...). As a software dev and domainer that's certainly one of the tricks I keep in my arsenal and whip out frequently...

FYI, those are not programming languages.

Ultimately, you want to use your coding skills with data sets.

Another thread on namePros has lots of data and tools relevant to domainers.

 

[MadAboutDomains]

HTML

That's not much use without a lot of other knowledge imho.

Indeed. The question was about the best programming language. There seems to be a confusion between what is a programming language and a CMS. Your answer was fine and I think you understood what the poster meant as opposed to what s/he wrote.

And if we are going to be specific, HTML/CSS in the poll are not programming languages either. These are markup languages to determine styling of a web page. Similar to what a word processor uses to style a document.

Additionally, you cannot use just one language to build a website. Dynamic websites (i.e. websites that use more than just HTML/CSS) need a combination of programming languages that include both server-side and browser-side languages. So if you use PHP (server-side), you will also need to utilize Javascript (browser-side). There is a method of updating pages that is called AJAX which combines different languages. So there is no one useful programming language. You need to be versed in a number of languages to be able to create complete websites.

SQL is a database querying language which is pretty much useless to know unless you also know a server-side programming language.
