I recently started my first job in the development world. I am a Junior Apprentice at Maxx Potential. While we have many different types of projects in the technology field, I have been primarily working on development and code maintenance projects.
So far I have worked with Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, and Vagrant for development environments. They are definitely interesting. If you ever really want to learn Docker, convert a custom Docker Compose setup to be Docker Swarm friendly.
As far as languages are concerned, I have been working primarily with PHP for an extension of the WordPress plugin Elementor. Elementor is extremely powerful, however it is rather under documented, so it has also been a pretty solid learning experience. Along with learning Elementor, I was also required to learn PHPUnit unit testing. This was without a doubt the most difficult part of the process, however it forced me to learn that I need to be able to test my own code.
This post has been more of an update regarding what I am doing right now and unfortunately does not really cover any interesting code work. So I think I'll just mark it as discuss and ask if anyone else just started their first job in the industry and would like to talk about it a bit. Expect more from me soon, still figuring this blogging thing out.
