Using a Professional IDE for WordPress Development
Details
This month's workshop shall cover using a professional IDE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment) for WordPress development. Our focus will be on PHPStorm (https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/).
Meet-and-greet and setup begins at 6:30pm; workshop proper begins at 7pm. Come early if you need assistance installing PHPStorm!
PHPStorm is a cross-platform IDE that delivers a deep integration with WordPress. It is a must-have if you want to architect WordPress sites, themes, and plugins at a professional and efficient level.
Through a series of hands-on activities, you will learn how to:
• Navigate the WordPress core like a pro
• Automatically format your code according to WordPress coding standards
• Automatically scan your code for issues
• Utilize advanced debugging capabilities
• Integrate with tools like Git, Vagrant, Composer, PHPUnit and WP-CLI
• Easily Test REST APIs
• Directly integrate with your bug tracking system
• Do diffs on directories, files and file history
• Quickly publish Gists
Very few people who own PHPStorm know its full functionality, so come to the Coders Guild and get a heads up on the competition! If you don't already own PHPStorm, you can download a 30-day trial (full version) here (https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/).
Any questions, be sure to comment below. We hope to see you there!
