How to become a PHP expert faster

Disney has a famous animated movie "Ratatouille". The protagonist is a little mouse Remy, who can cook like a professional chef. Similar to this: If PHP beginners want to achieve something in this area, the advanced method is also very similar. This article lists some simple basic steps:

In the movie poster, Remy is wearing a professional chef's hat. If we want to become PHP experts, we must first put on a hat for ourselves-the hat of "I am a PHP expert".

Why do you need such a hat? What are the benefits of doing this?

With such a hat, first of all, we will have confidence and recognize ourselves as a professional PHP developer, thus naturally improving our confidence in PHP programming. Furthermore, the key to becoming an expert in PHP programming is self-study and self-confidence.

We all know that people with high self-confidence in a certain field, whether in sports, entertainment or programming, can usually achieve better results than ordinary people and have a higher success rate. Therefore, this hat is unusual. With it, you become the "man with the silver spoon in his mouth."

Suppose we are going to prepare an Indian meal "carrot pudding", then the first image that comes to mind is a large bowl full of carrot pudding sprinkled with dried fruits.

1. Rehearse the cooking process in your mind first:

When cooking, rehearse it in your mind before actually doing it.

Suppose we have a plan to develop a new PHP module, then there is a very important step before actual implementation, which is to mentally rehearse the process of the new module and ask ourselves some questions during the process, such as the following five:

• What are the basic requirements for this new module?

• 
  

• What are the advantages of developing new modules?

• 
  

• Who is using this module?

• 
  

• What necessary programming skills should be mastered?

• 
  

• What is the development timeline for this new module?

Before actually doing it, ask yourself questions first, and then find out the answers to these questions. This is very beneficial to the actual implementation.

2. Gather necessary resources

Collect a certain amount of essential ingredients such as butter, sugar, carrots, almonds, and cardamom.

The same is true for programming. First collect the necessary technical resources and put them together.

3. Divide the entire task into some small tasks

The process of making carrot pudding can be divided into a series of small tasks.

Similarly, the task of making a new module can be broken into smaller tasks and completed one by one.

4. Add dried fruits

Adding dried fruit makes carrot pudding look even more delicious.

​Similarly, we need to learn and try some advanced tools and techniques to arouse user interest in this module.

5. The plating is more exciting

If a meal is prepared and plated incorrectly, it can also affect the success and popularity of the meal. Plating is very important, no matter what effect you want to present, the result must be simple and clear.

Similarly, when writing code, we should use indentation and comments appropriately to make the code look more professional.

6. Present with gratitude

After hours of preparation, if the meal isn’t presented to family and friends, they won’t be able to taste it. what does that mean? After all the hard work, if you fail to make a proper release, the result is still zero.

Similarly, even if a lot of effort is spent on the development of a new module, if it is not presented to customers in an appropriate way, then all the efforts will be in vain.

7. Obtain comments and feedback

After you've successfully made carrot pudding, it's time to get feedback from friends and family. Why do we need reviews and feedback? The answer is very simple, we need to improve the recipe.

After successfully completing the development, collect feedback about the new module from friends, development experts and experts, record the comments of PHP experts and conduct experiments accordingly.

8. Practice more

We all know the term "practice makes perfect", how to apply it here? Practicing more on a certain meal will strengthen your confidence and perfection in the dish. Practicing more on the code will also help you write better code, making you more confident.

9. Wait a moment and success will come

Don't be too hasty, it won't take a day to freeze three feet. Follow these steps and repeat them many times. After a while you will see the results. People like your work and want to get feedback from you.
