Mix'n'match and the Wikidata game use PHP as a scripting language, Histropedia uses ASP.NET. The other I don't know. The MediaWiki software powering Wikipedia and Wikidata is also written in PHP. But only PHP (or any other server side scripting language) isn't enough. You also need to have knowledge of javascript, jQuery, css, HTML, XML, json. I don't know if frameworks are used and if so which. And always important in programming is knowledge of OO programming (object orientated programming).

Hey all,

I would like to ask about programming web apps using Wikidata. I'm completely new to programming, and I just started learning Python. My question is if I would like to make apps like Mix 'n' Match or the Wikidata Game, or stuff like Histropedia, Tree of Life, and Sum of All Paintings, what programming languages/skills do I need to learn? Also, is it worth to start learning how to use frameworks like Django or Ruby or these come latar? (And if yes, which framework do you think is suitable?) Thanks!

Best,

Adam
