PHP (Laravel 4)/Postgresql or Cassandra/jquery For back end, I run Vagrant + Ansible with PHP composer Front end, it's bower + grunt My other tools are Vim + Tmux. For data and webscrapping I use scrapy (python framework). The current project I have is what I've listed and going to learn Apache Spark and Elasticsearch. I'm currently stuck on learning Ansible to provision stuff. I think many worthwhile things are going to require some learning curve whether it's steep or not is more up to the individual. I'm putting off AngularJS, EmberJS, React stuff. I think it's to early. Likewise Docker and container are too early. I'm waiting on perhaps Docker 2.0 and some technical book out. Kubernates in my personal opinion is really an Alpha software there are many caveats. I'm thinking of moving to Django/Python stack in my next project and tinkering with Apache Accumulo.
