I was reading in the library yesterday and saw an article in "Computer News" titled "30 is not the end for programmers" (For details, please refer to "Computer News" Issue 19, 2010, G14 Digital Edition workplace articles). The general content is an interview with a 30-year-old senior PHP programmer. He talked about some essential knowledge about PHP programmers. I found it very useful, so I took some notes:
Basic requirements for a PHP programmer:
1. Proficient in website front-end technologies such as html, CSS, and JS.
2. Master PHP programming technology.
3. Understand Linux, Apache, and MySql
4. Know the basic network principles and understand the TCP/IP protocol.
5. Understand basic software engineering knowledge and software design technology.
Basic knowledge you must have:
1. LAMP technology (enhanced): Linux+Apache+Mysql+PHP is one of the most common architectures for PHP websites and one of the most efficient architectures.
2. Have a deep understanding of potential security vulnerabilities. Such as: SQL injection vulnerabilities, character encoding loops, cross-site scripting attacks (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). (So strange – -!)
3. Master the MVC pattern: Model, View, Controller.
4. Others: Object-oriented programming (OOP), PHP caching technology, PHP-related development frameworks, software reconstruction technology, software design patterns.
Tools you must master:
1. PHPMyAdmin (the first tool to install after installing LAMP).
2. PHPDocuenter will find all logical structures from PHP.
3. Zend, a professional PHP integrated development environment, is the preferred IDE tool for PHP programmers.
Some resources: PHPChina, "Core Technology of PHP and MySql Web Application Development".
