Can I do commercial development (backend with php) on Windows 10?

Question

PHP

I study the basics of php, in parallel, also other necessary things for working on the back-end. But I have a question. Is it possible, sitting purely on Windows 10, not only to learn the basics of web development with php, but also to develop a skill so that later you can get a job as a backender-june and engage in commercial development? Or without picking in Linux, even a junior can't get a job?

Answer 1

Another stupid question.
And it's not even that Linux is really not needed at first.
Well, no, at least someone would ask, "I'm learning this, this and this, but I also want this and that, but what else would you advise?"
No - everyone who wants to come out marches in orderly rows to the toaster for permission, "but can I not learn this, this and this?"
Well, what kind of people are you?
He has not yet begun to teach, but he is already afraid - as if not to overwork.
What - already learned all the basics? Now you are standing at a crossroads, should you already go to get settled or torment Linux? What's Linux? Basic operators, database basics, debugging, error handling, code and presentation separation, HTTP basics, security basics already learned? Not? Well, you have to sit down and learn what is well learned on Windows. And ask questions if you don't understand something. That's what the toaster was made for.
And do not pick your nose dreamily, "everything is fine with us, only Linux is not enough!".
We need to dream less and work more. And ask questions along the way. Then you become a programmer.
And with this approach, you will not advance further than the sofa.

Answer 2

Why didn't I have such stupid questions. Stupidly sat down and taught, found out that the server was on Linux, demolished Windows on FIG, installed Linux, 2 weeks I figured it out with tears. To be honest, while I was studying, I didn’t have in my thoughts “but I’ll ask a dike a question, maybe I don’t need to know something.” I think knowing Linux is a must.

Answer 3

Can. In the future, Linux will have to learn.

Answer 4

Well, there are all sorts of CMS at the start. Next, look in the direction of frameworks, etc.

Answer 5

you don't. on this understanding of development

Answer 6

It is absolutely not critical in this case and it is quite possible to do your own projects on Windows 10.
If you really want to try Linux, then you can raise WSL on the same Windows 10. But at the initial stage, I would not recommend it so as not to get confused at the learning stage.

Answer 7

Your php will run on a linux server. Sooner or later you will have to get in there
. The second PC is unnecessary. To see / touch it is enough to raise the virtual machine

Answer 8

set yourself to 10 wsl, or wsl2 and you will have Linux on Windows))

Answer 9

Can. There is a docker for such purposes.
