Welcome to the php-book2 wiki!

MILESTONE 1:

Your priority should be getting comfortable with things like functions, arrays, strings, forms, files, sessions, OOP basics, PDO/MySQL, error handling, classes, namespaces, Composer, and building complete small apps. Once normal PHP starts feeling natural, internals will make much more sense.

A good trigger point for starting PHP internals seriously would be when you can build a small app without constantly asking, “what function do I need here?” You don’t need to be advanced, but you should be comfortable reading ordinary PHP code.

Stack

1. PHP 8.2+
   1. Composer
2. JavaScript (focus: visualization, data structures, UI)
3. Laravel
4. C (focus: data structures, PHP internals)
5. MySQL
6. Bash
7. Docker
8. Chart.js
9. Three.js
10. Linux (ubuntu)
11. CSS & Tailwind (visualization & layouts)

Bash

But you do not need to “master Bash” deeply at first. Learn the practical shell skills: cd ls pwd mkdir rm cp mv cat less grep find chmod chown ps kill systemctl ssh curl pipes | redirection > >> environment variables

Then basic Bash scripting: if for while variables functions

Bash stack:

• Linux commands
• Git
• MySQL CLI
• PHP CLI
• Composer
• Nginx tools
• Docker
