I'd really get in deep on the PHP platform, with an emphasis on performance. For example, if you have not looked at them already, take a look at the APC cache for opt code and user data, then distributed caching via Memcache (and the PHP clients for this), and I would also spend some time looking at PHP-FPM. Also HipHop if you're doing something really large scale. There is a lot more to modern PHP development than people realise.
