Further steps

Well, hopefully we've done enough to get you up and running with Li3 development, but that's never the whole story! I'd recommend you do some research into:

• Source control (e.g. Git)
• PHP performance and configuration
• Scaling
• Hosting
• ORM (Object-Relational Mapper)
• Programming paradigms:
  • OOP (Object-Oriented Programming)
  • AOP (Aspect-Oriented Programming)
  • FP (Functional Programming)
