1) start using Git and Github for all your projects. This will force you to get good at command line basics
2) Make your own dotfiles with shortcuts. Here's mine:

3) Get a VPS server and set it up. This will require you to learn a little bit of everything - FTP, web server install, libraries, more. I'm doing this now, it's a bitch!
Here's a great VPS deal I found recently, I'm setting mine up now:

- brenfrow 14y agoI was looking at Linode, and started setting it up, and thats what got this question started. But this is a much better deal... thanks!
- jyu 14y agoWhat kinds of guides did you find helpful set up a VPS?
- dylanhassinger 14y agoI am just googling things as I have to tackle them. So far it's been: - install git and hub - install node, npm, and nvm - create a new user for sftp access - give write permissions to that new user and set up my ssh keys - set up static file server, virtual hosts, etc (haven't gotten to this yet) For a Lamp stack, that last bullet would be "install apache, php and mysql"...
