Bastion Rare web programmers are skilled in PHP programming, one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. We value PHP because it is open source, extendable, supports large amounts of databases, runs on most platforms, compatible with servers, and is reliable with high performance. While programmers across the globe may be capable of PHP programming, we differentiate our programming skills by avoiding shortcuts and inadequacies in a number of ways.

We take the time to maintain proper documentation of our PHP code, something many programmers do not set aside the extra time it takes to complete. Some even do it after the fact which doesn’t make sense. There is value in writing meaningful comments to our code and we believe it is a step that shouldn’t be overlooked. In doing so, the code is easily understood by all members of the development team. Perhaps more importantly, comments are incredibly useful when reviewing code days, weeks or even months later.

Another advantage of PHP coding is that it allows our developers to create a productive workflow in where our team works in tandem to develop code, identify bugs, and fix errors. Our Quality Assurance (QA) Specialists and Developers work closely to perform the regression, pen-testing (penetration testing), and load testing prior to handing the final website or app build to our internal teams for additional testing. 

By following these standards put upon ourselves, we develop code that is clear, concise, consistent, and scalable for future changes.
