Where do we go from here?

You've been programming for a while. You can make things happen, get things done, but you know there is more out there. What next? I'll be going over the "gates" that I've seen developers go through as the develop and attempt to give people a road map of the things that they should be looking to learn "next" from where they are. Some of the gates I've seen so far are:
  1. Basics
    • variables
    • logical structures
    • data structures
    • functions
  2. Organization
    • File separations
    • OOP programming
    • MVC
  3. You don't have to do it all yourself
    • Frameworks and libraries.
  4. Smoothing the process.
    • Accessing other systems (Grunt, Fabric)
    • Version Control
  5. Advanced Topics.
    • Caching
    • High Availability
    • Architecting
    • Functional Programming
