Title: Beyond PHP & MySQL: What to learn next

Abstract: So, you’ve learned PHP. You’ve learned MySQL. And you know enough of CSS and JavaScript to be dangerous. Congrats! But what should you learn next? In this 3 hour session, Jason will cover what you should spend your time learning after PHP and MySQL. He’ll spend time covering topics such as application architecture, caching techniques, how to use message brokers, monitoring techniques, and other technologies that can be used alongside PHP. The goal of this talk is to give you real techniques you can apply right away, and allow you to take your skills as a developer to the next level.
