On Reddit.com a reader has asked the community what they think he needs to do to progress his PHP skills past the "little bit" he's learned so far.
Last summer I started learning a little bit of PHP, knowing HTML and CSS drove me towards wanting to learn some PHP for fun. I went through a pretty simple book, and made some simple websites (registration and message system, user submitted data, file uploads) using mostly tutorials which I tweaked a little bit. Since last summer I haven't learned anything new, but now that summer is coming along again I might be a bit bored, so I have been thinking of attempting to learn even more.
Suggestions included in the comments are things like:
- Learn about software architecture.
- Understand your environment.
- I very highly suggest learning a PHP framework.
- http://www.phptherightway.com
- Start learning industry tools for PHP. It will all influence your coding style, and illustrate why some styles are considered best practices.
- To add to the other suggestions, I recommend becoming a regular contributor to one or more open source projects.
- What helped me a lot was to write my own micro framework using OOP that I can now use for future websites and web applications.
- Come up with a 'complex' web site/application idea and get to it. Bonus points if you can launch it and make money off it (half kidding).
