Prepare for a back-end developer internship?

Question

PHP

Hi all. At the moment I have confident knowledge of html, css; elementary knowledge , that is, not even basic knowledge of PHP, MySQL and JS, there is a great desire to go to the company for an internship as a web developer (backend). I have time somewhere until February-March. I can spend about 4-5 hours (+-) a day on studying, and weekends, respectively. And now the most important questions...
- How realistic is it for such a period, 4-5 months, to pull up knowledge to the level that is put forward to the trainee.
- Tips about learning php and mysql, video courses, will go for a start (PHP and MySQL from Zero to Guru 2.0)?
- About JS I think codecademy?
What knowledge is better to have before the internship, frameworks, knowledge of GIT? Or are they not required for the trainee to start?
I understand that the question is formulated very stupidly, I can not collect thoughts in a heap ...

Answer 1

- How realistic is it for such a period, 4-5 months, to pull up knowledge to the level that is put forward by the trainee.

Taking into account the fact that you adequately assess the capabilities of an average person, and at least you are not going to try to get a position as a lead developer in a company with such a track record (experience), it is quite realistic, i.e. it is quite possible to reach the level of an intern, with due desire.

- Tips about learning php and mysql, video courses, will go for a start (PHP and MySQL from Zero to Guru 2.0)?

As a person who teaches people "personally" ("live"), I find it difficult to say which courses are better ... In my purely personal opinion, it is better to work directly with a teacher. But, speaking specifically about books/courses/etc, I think those that you perceive well will be better. Everyone has a different style of writing and a different understanding of the beautiful idea of ​​​​what a quality product should look like (a course, a book, etc., it doesn’t matter). There are some books that are elevated to the category of "bible", but not all are able to perceive the style of presentation of their authors.

- About JS I think codecademy?

I read this at the time. I generally liked it, although I'm not a JS'nick and have not yet planned to become one. But, again, if we return to the previous point ... :)

Answer 2

I have time somewhere until February-March.

And then what, the end of the world? A very strange approach.
If you want to become a back-end developer, study until you become one. And everyone has their own time.

Answer 3

Read a couple of books, the same Koterov or Zandstra, drink a simple application like a blog on any framework - June is ready.
