What to teach Junior'a?

Question

PHP

Good afternoon, Junior is coming out for an internship (PHP) from Monday. But he never took people with zero work experience, a person knows English perfectly, why is it better to drag him?
The person was previously familiar with RoR
PS: We mainly work on Laravel, Symfony2

Answer 1

1. Allocate a junior curator, give the junior not too difficult tasks.
2. Make the curator responsible for helping (answering questions, pointing in the right direction, but not doing it instead). Junior should also be informed that questions and ambiguities should be immediately addressed to the curator.
3 At least once a day, if possible 2-3 times a day, the curator himself must check what the patient has done and if he climbs in the wrong direction, direct him in the right direction.

Answer 2

Once, I came to a web studio completely zero.
Able to make selections from the database and work with sessions.
Nobody said anything in particular, they just filled up with tasks that they had to cope with. I motivated myself with the words: "someone can, but I can't?".
Ask questions that can only be answered with "yes" or "no".
After 8 months, I handed over a complex project that I wrote myself for 4 months from scratch using the yii framework.
He quit, as the employer knowingly hired zero programmers, squeezed all the juice out of them, paid a penny and blamed everyone for all the troubles of the studio. and these very zeros, after "slavery" with great experience, got good jobs

Answer 3

Directly on Symfony2 to give small tasks, with a gradual immersion in different areas. Starting with elementary things and complicating tasks. Full control of the code, with sending incorrect solutions for revision-rework with a detailed explanation of what is wrong and why.
