Posted by Even though the website would mostly consist of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it is built with many languages on the backend. We can also build websites with Ruby, PHP, Python, Go, Java, etc.
So, in this installment of the series, we are going to try widening our coverage of the list. You will find an e-Commerce platform built with Ruby, an end-to-end web testing tool with Python, and let’s jump in to see the full list.

A network monitoring system based on PHP. It’s capable of discovering many types of networks including CDP, FDP, and LLDP.
