	<p>
	Are you a PHP pro?  Someone who is very good at programming -- and understands the difference between TOP CODERS and everyone else?  If that is the case, then you might be the type of person that we are looking for. 
	</p>
	<p>
	We are looking for a SOLID PHP CODER who is familiar with object-oriented development and great frameworks that make life easier for coders like us.  We particularly enjoy Symfony and CodeIgnitor, but experience in other frameworks is a plus. Experience in MVC/OO is also highly desired.
	</p>
	<p>
	We are a group of Agile developers, who work quickly and enjoy fun challenges.  Working on with us can be a VERY long-term endeavor if you want it to be.  But you need to be very fast and very team-oriented! 
	</p>
	Experience in other useful things, like AJAX, is definitely a plus.

<i>Akash Mehta</i> has <a href="http://www.developertutorials.com/blog/php/4-php-professional-development-paths-17/">posted a list</a> of suggestions he has for developers wanting to move up and enhance their skills in the language:
</p>
<blockquote>
So, you’re an up-and-coming PHP developer, you’re spending a lot of time learning new tricks and you’re always on the bleeding edge when it comes to using technologies in your web applications. What’s next?
</blockquote>
<p>His four answers to "what's next" are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Read books, write code.
<li>Attend conferences
<li>Take courses and qualification tests
<li>Watch the web
</ul>
<p>
...with the final one being his most important.
