Booklist for @warkior

These are the books that I've read so far that I feel made the best impression on me, that is relevant to Laravel and PHP/Programming in general. Even though the two Laravel books are "dated" since they are for version 4.1 there are still a lot of things that can be learned from them.

The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master

"I found this book to be a great mix of solid advice and wonderful analogies!" --Martin Fowler, author of Refactoring and UML Distilled

Education, the basement edition

This talk is in fact not about being a home schooled individual, but rather about my jurney through the multiple steps of comming to terms and realizing the fact, that formal education is not a requirement set in stone, when wanting to work in the web development industry.

I will iterate through my process of persuing the educational path which I thought would be the only valid thing, allowing me to get a propper job as a web-developer.

Starting from a non-performant zombie-process hacking away at high-school education, later passing through an advertisment agency for a refreshing un-intentional reboot into a human equivalent of a multi-worker nginx daemon, I started realizing that I was on the right path. After a few work-load related crashes from imporper handling of requests, I learned how to handle and identify faulty or malicious requests and act accordingly.

Once I've entered the job market, the learning curves of new techonogies, proper handling of design patterns
