Speakers’ names Aracelly Pérez.

Speaker’s position Affirmative

Greeting and Introduction
Good afternoon chairperson, opposition and audience.

We are gathered here today to discuss Which Programming Language is Best

The topic for today's debate is that which programming language is best.
Outline your team's case:
a) Your points:
I will be speaking about...

 Which programming language is better Why?

 How php was started.

 Why I say php is better.

2 minuto

b) Second speaker's points:

Our second speaker will be talking about....

● Some reasons that make JAVA better than PHP

● Python a complete programming language

● Javascript a fullstack development program 2 minuto

Your First Point

State your argument:

My first point is which programming language is better.

From my point of view php is better even if for other people's eyes it is not, because I had the
opportunity to work with it in the development of my information system and it went very well.

What's the information that supports your argument?

Several of the most popular websites in the world were developed in PHP. These include
Facebook, Viber, Yahoo, Flickr and Wikipedia.

Give examples, facts, figures, etc.:

What I mean is in the 1990s it was called the best programming language because it
revolutionized the way internet software was developed. PHP made it practical for the first time
to build dynamic websites and thus transformed the web from a collection of mostly static content
to an interactive medium.

Your Second Point

My second point is...

How php got started.

Well, it is considered that in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf, the first incarnation of PHP was a simple
set of binary Common Gateway Interface files written in the C programming language.
It was originally called Personal Home Page, but is now known as Hypertext Preprocessor.

What's the information that supports your argument?

I’d like to point out that offers a wide range of advanced features for professional programmers,
Only professional programmers can "squeeze" the full functionality of PHP.

Give examples, facts, figures, etc.:

Precisely In 1997 and 1998, PHP/FI had a cult following of several thousand users worldwide. A
Netcraft survey in May 1998 indicated that about sixty thousand domains reported that they had
headers containing "PHP", indicating in effect that the host server had it installed.

Your Third Point

My third point is...
|
Why I say php is better

From my point of view Because it can be used with any type of server, and with any virtual OS.
On the other hand, it supports a lot of different databases. And finally, it provides full support for
server communication with other protocols.

What's the information that supports your argument?

goes without saying that offers a wide range of advanced features for professional programmers,
Only professional programmers can "squeeze" the full functionality of PHP.

Give examples, facts, figures, etc.:

Well, it is considered that Most novice developers prefer PHP to other programming languages
because of its simplicity.

Chairperson, opposition and members of the audience, in conclusion...

in general it is thought that There is no best programming language for the web, everything must
be adjusted to the needs of each system to be developed
 Second speaker guide

Speaker’s position (Affirmative/Negative)

Expressing disagreement with first speaker’s arguments

I disagree that PHP is the best, because there are programs that are more powerful and easy
to program or as advanced with specialized libraries for artificial intelligence

Why do you disagree with first speaker’s points?

Briefly State the Points You Will Make

Today I will be talking to you about:

● JAVA

● Python

● Javascript

Your First Point

My first point is... Performance, Stability

When it comes to the PHP vs Java performance comparison, Java is the winner. Java is
precompiled, and PHP needs time to comply with bytecode on each request. The
optimization work in both Java and PHP has been done but Java seems to put more work
into that. The latest versions of PHP optimize the writing but they also reduce memory
consumption.

Java is considered to be more stable than PHP. It requires a longer code which takes time.
At the same time, a well-written longer code becomes a more stable application with fewer
crashes. It has become the reason why banks and fintech brands pick Java without any
further considerations.

The official Java documentation can be found on Oracle. The language specifications are
described in all the complexity, so you will easily find all the needed information.

Give examples, facts, figures, etc.:

for example
Although PHP has been around since 1995, so its documentation might appear to be
partially outdated, riddled, and inconsistent.

Your Second Point

My second point is the problem that I can have with php being a weakly typed program

What's the information that supports your argument?

Python is an open source programming language, in addition to having excellent compatibility with common systems,
unlike PHP Python is a Universal Programming Language with exceptionally pure syntax.
Because Python is easy to write, with simple syntax and readable code, this programming language is considered
beginner-friendly.

Its short learning curve makes Python a recommended choice for newbies, and most programming courses use
Python to teach the fundamentals. In other words, learning this language takes much less time than learning other
languages, which means the cost is less, while the development is faster.

On the other hand, PHP is notoriously unfriendly and user-unfriendly as a result of complex rules and complicated
syntax.

So it's clear that Python is a winner when it comes to ease of learning.

Your Third Point

When working with programs that are oriented to a single front, we are obliged to learn
several languages in order to understand the entire project and if, for example, your project
has four different development programs, it is very likely that it will not be able to
understand it on its own. much less develop it, now let's take a practical example, you are
the owner of a development company in which you are the only person because you have
limited resources and you are developing an application, most likely you would have needed
3 or four programmers minimum to keep the project alive. And we don't even talk about
development anymore, just to maintain it. At least one for the Android app, one for the Java
backend, one for the PHP backend.
It's easier to find a developer who knows one language than one who knows many in
addition to the high costs.

Give examples, fact, figures etc.:

A clear example of this would be that a person with knowledge of javascript can have a
complete project running correctly

Closing statement
Chairman, opposition and members of the audience, in conclusion...

There is no program that is better than another, they all have strengths such as PHP
frameworks to help with security problems or the robustness of java, what we must be clear
about is the needs of a project and accommodate choosing the program that best suits the
required needs
