Requirements / Prerequisites
- Solid Foundation in PHP Fundamentals: A deep, unshakeable understanding of basic syntax, advanced control structures, diverse data types, file handling, and error reporting.
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Mastery: Thorough grasp of classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, abstract classes, traits, and a practical application of common design patterns (e.g., Singleton, Factory, Strategy, Observer).
- Extensive Experience with Databases: Proficiency in SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL preferred) including complex queries, subqueries, joins, transactions, advanced indexing, stored procedures, and a conceptual understanding of ORM principles.
- Advanced Web Development Principles: In-depth familiarity with HTTP protocols, RESTful and potentially GraphQL API design, robust session management, cookie handling, and practical knowledge of common web security vulnerabilities (XSS, CSRF, SQL Injection, ReDoS) and their mitigation.
- Version Control System (Git) Proficiency: Practical, collaborative experience with Git, including advanced branching strategies, merging, rebasing, and effective conflict resolution in team environments.
- Intermediate Understanding of a Major PHP Framework (e.g., Laravel, Symfony): Practical awareness of core components, routing, middleware, service containers, database migrations, and architectural considerations within a modern PHP framework.
Skills Covered / Tools Used (Implicitly Tested)
- Advanced OOP & Design Patterns: Practical application and identification of advanced design patterns (e.g., Repository, Decorator, Adapter), effective dependency injection, and rigorous adherence to SOLID principles in complex architectural contexts.
- Modern PHP Features & Syntax: In-depth testing of knowledge of PHP 7.x/8.x specific features such as scalar and return type declarations, attributes, anonymous classes, generators, co-routines, and robust error handling with custom exceptions.
- Framework Architecture & Best Practices: Understanding of advanced framework concepts including service containers, event-driven architectures, queueing systems, package development, and performance optimization techniques specific to frameworks.
- Database Optimization & ORM Mastery: Assessing ability to write highly optimized database queries, troubleshoot complex performance issues, and effectively utilize advanced ORM features (e.g., eager loading, lazy loading, transactions, custom query scopes) for intricate data models.
- API Development & Security: Practical evaluation of robust RESTful and GraphQL API design, advanced authentication mechanisms (OAuth 2.0, JWT), fine-grained authorization policies, and comprehensive security implementation against evolving threats.
- Unit, Integration & Acceptance Testing (PHPUnit, Codeception): Competence in writing effective unit tests, integration tests, mock objects, data providers, and potentially acceptance tests to ensure comprehensive code reliability and maintainability.
- Performance Optimization & Caching: Identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks, implementing advanced caching strategies (Redis, Memcached, opcache), optimizing PHP code execution, and database query tuning for ultimate speed and scalability.
- DevOps & Deployment Concepts: Awareness of modern deployment pipelines, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices, containerization basics (Docker, Kubernetes concepts), and robust environment management for PHP applications.
- Asynchronous Programming & Message Queues: Understanding and application of asynchronous tasks, background processing, and message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka, Beanstalkd) for improved application responsiveness and fault tolerance.
- Cloud Integration & Services: Conceptual understanding of integrating PHP applications with various cloud services (AWS S3, Lambda, RDS; Azure Functions, Cosmos DB; Google Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub) for scalable, resilient solutions.
