Hi, I am working as a web developer (PHP, Laravel, AngularJS, and MySQL) with more than 8 years of experience and looking for a tech stack that pays better. I have a little bit of knowledge of Core Java. For better opportunities, Should I learn Java, Spring Boot or Python. Or should I learn Drupal, WordPress or Magento? Any guidance would be really appreciated! Thanks.

Hi there!

I am in the process of building a B2B and a B2C marketplace on Magento 2, and I need a solution to anticipate customs duties and other various taxes such as VAT to show a net sales price to the customers. Do you guys have any knowledge about an API that does that kind of thing? Cheers

I am consulting for a company that wants to move its current CubeCart e-commerce site to another PHP based platform like PrestaShop or Magento. I was interested in alternatives that utilize Node.js as the primary platform. I currently don't know PHP, but I have done full stack dev with Java, Spring, Thymeleaf, etc.. I am just unsure that learning a set of technologies not commonly used makes sense. For example, in PrestaShop, I would need to work with JavaScript better and learn PHP, Twig, and Bootstrap. It seems more cumbersome than a Node JS system, where the language syntax stays the same for the full stack. I am looking for thoughts and advice on the relevance of PHP skillset into the future AND whether the Node based e-commerce open source options can compete with Magento or Prestashop.

Hi everyone,

I’m a rookie who would love some opinions of what tools to consider for our Magento 1 community website. It was built in around 2014 and was mostly neglected until I came along. I love learning how to make things affect our ranking, but I’d like to be more accurate in what I’m doing. I’m self-taught, so it's all very challenging! I’m trying the monthly trial of Seobility. It seems very comprehensive. It would be great to have your wealth of experience on what else would give me feedback.

Thanks Tina

Currently, I am a university student, and it is my second last semester with a major in Computer science. I want to start my career in full-stack web development. I know Python with Django + PHP with Laravel, and my focus is on learning MERN stack. I am a little bit confused as to which technology I should choose: Django or Magento or MERN stack.
