Suggesting for language to use to develop a control panel
| Posted by jcarney1987, 09-11-2010, 11:08 AM |
| I am interested in building a proprietary control panel with an open source version but I am trying to figure out what are the best languages to use for it. From what I understand Perl would be the biggest part of it but what other language might work really good for this project.
I am learning perl and c++ now and maybe some php. Any suggestions?

| perl/python for back-end and php for front-end

| I wrote my own control panel that manages my vpss in nodejs, so javascript. Can execute bash scripts, manage nginx, postgresql, and php (versions, modules, ini settings). I'm sure nodejs could be used to create an entire control panel like cpanel with the right coder behind the project.

| cPanel is perl based... as far as I know. We had (and still have in use) developed one on PHP 8 years ago. But why do you bother yourself with this. It is a lot of work which might not get paid. People want to keep to standards, especially those who invest in web hosting...

| Because It is something good to practice in. I don't have to get paid I said I would organize a team and see what kind of open source setup i can do. So many open source control panels that don't have api for billing integration so I figured since I want to run a free web host as well why not develop a control panel that would be a cpanel clone or something. It may only control on apache and thats about it from the start but it should get better. Web control panels seem to use a variety of languages so its good practice to integrate them all.
So right now my goals are to finish learning about c++ and perl and then moving into some java, python, in php. From what i've been told if I know c++, then java and python should be a walk through to learn.
