The big picture

PHP is a server-side scripting language that is primarily used for web development. Some common areas where PHP is used include:

1. Web development: PHP is a popular choice for building dynamic web applications and websites. It is often used in combination with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create interactive and user-friendly web pages.
2. Content Management Systems (CMS): PHP is the language behind many popular open-source CMS such as WordPress, Joomla and Drupal.
3. E-commerce: PHP is a common choice for building online stores and e-commerce platforms.
4. Web scraping and data mining: PHP can be used to extract data from websites and to automate various data mining tasks.

7. Experience with version control systems such as Git.
8. Understanding of web protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, and REST.
9. Familiarity with front-end web development technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
10. Familiarity with software development methodologies such as Agile, Scrum, and Kanban.
11. Good understanding of software development life cycle (SDLC)
12. Familiarity with cloud infrastructure like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
