Web Developer jobs have been in demand ever since companies started becoming digital. Companies need them to provide back-end support for websites or web applications. And one kind of web developer job that’s popular today are online PHP developer jobs.

A remote PHP developer utilizes Hypertext Processor or PHP scripting language to develop websites and web applications. Aside from making new websites and web applications, they also update and customize existing ones based on evolving technologies and needs.

In addition to these, the other duties and responsibilities of a remote PHP developer include:

  • Write clean, functional, effective, and scalable PHP codes.
  • Construct and modify efficient, testable, and reusable PHP modules.
  • Resolve complex performance and architectural issues.
  • Integrate user-facing elements developed by front-end developers.
  • Integrate data storage solutions.

Because PHP developers are in-demand today, a PHP developer salary is pretty substantial. Junior remote PHP developers can expect to earn between Php 35,000 to Php 48,000. On the other hand, experienced ones have a salary range between Php 76,000 to Php 100,000.

Are you now interested in becoming a PHP developer? If so, here are five skills you need to become an ace remote PHP developer.

Coding via PHP

Coding via PHP.

The first, and perhaps the most essential, skill that you need as a remote PHP developer is coding using the PHP scripting language. Before you even say it, I know you wouldn’t apply for this online job if you didn’t think you had the necessary skills.

But possessing basic proficiency in PHP alone won’t be enough to land you one of the online PHP developer jobs. You will also need to be proficient in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Knowing these other programming languages alongside PHP helps you produce quality web pages or applications for your clients.

Fortunately, because everything’s digital nowadays, there are plenty of online resources you can avail yourself of to improve your PHP and other coding skills. These range from Youtube tutorials to online courses that give a certificate of accreditation upon completion.

Able to Troubleshoot and Debug

Able to Troubleshoot and Debug.

Of course, when developing websites and web applications, you’ll encounter a wide variety of problems, such as uncooperative lines of code or recurring bugs. And let’s not forget to mention any unseen issues you may have missed during development.

Conducting troubleshooting and debugging allows you to detect and solve these issues within your work before launch. This extends to after you’ve launched it, as your website or web application may develop new problems or show hidden ones as it runs.

Doing these takes plenty of time and patience, as not all problems can be easily detectable. So learning to be more patient and observant of your work will help you in this regard.

Capable of Documenting Data and Technical Writing

Capable of Documenting Data and Technical Writing.

Aside from developing websites and web applications, you must also know how to document your progress in doing these tasks. Doing so lets you and others retrace your steps if there’s something wrong with your coding. Having documentation of your work also has the benefit of helping you present your progress to your clients during meetings with them.

To help you in your data documentation, another skill that you should hone is technical writing. Technical writing is the practice of producing instructional or informational documents for users. Its goal is to simplify complex topics; so that they’re easier to understand. Being proficient in technical writing helps you make reports for your co-workers and clients.

Data Management Skills

Data Management Skills.

After recording your data, you also need to manage them properly. For that, you will need data management skills. But first, what is data management? Data management is the process of collecting, storing, and utilizing data securely and cost-effectively. In today’s digitally-connected world, protecting your own and your client’s data from cyber attacks is a vital task.

Aside from the essential task of protecting your and your client’s data, data management also helps you in your more mundane tasks. Having easy access to all your work data in an organized and secure location helps make your job a lot easier, you know. Knowing how to use databases such as MySQL and MongoDB will help you with this.

Communication and Social Skills

Communication and Social Skills.

Finally, the last set of skills that you need if you’re applying for online PHP developer jobs is communication and social skills. As a remote PHP developer, collaborating with your fellow developers is a daily part of your job. So if you want your work to go smoothly, having at least decent communication and social skills is a must.

In addition to your colleagues, another group of people that you will inevitably interact with regularly are your clients. These meetings are usually progress reports on the status of the website or application you’re developing for them. During these meetings, it is helpful to explain your work to them in terms they can understand to avoid any misunderstandings.
