Which direction to look for in PHP development?

Question

PHP

Hello! Maybe someone will find my question stupid, but still. Interested in developing as a backend web developer. Where should you look? What frameworks, CMS and technologies should be dealt with in order to get started.
Knowledge of PHP is available, but little applied in practice. What test projects should be written to contribute to your GitHub?

Answer 1

Test projects for a junior:
You should not look at CMS, unless the CMS of online stores (except for Bitrix is ​​dead-end knowledge, closed on itself, and of dubious quality)
