Hands-on PhpStorm Workshop Materials

Maarten Balliauw

Have you ever taken the time to sit down and explore PhpStorm? Now’s your chance! We’re publishing the materials we’ve developed for the PhpStorm workshop at the PHPBenelux conference!

In these materials, you’ll learn about many of the features and productivity tools available in PhpStorm IDE, such as navigation, editing, inspections, live templates, refactoring, tools like Composer and the REST client and many more things. It’s virtually impossible to cover every option and feature in PhpStorm, but we’re providing a number of practical exercises to enhance your every-day workflow as a PHP developer.

We’ll also cover a vast number of keyboard shortcuts to enjoy productivity in PhpStorm. Other IntelliJ IDEA-based IDEs use the same keyboard shortcuts, so if you know how to work with PhpStorm, you’ll know how to work with WebStorm, RubyMine, PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA and more. A cheat sheet is available online and is also included in the workshop download.

This workshop is self-paced, meaning you can work your way through slides and exercises on your own, whenever and wherever you want. Exercises come as a PhpStorm project in which every file is a new exercise that may contain code and tips to get things done.

Want to get started? Create a new project in PhpStorm using the Composer project type. Find the jetbrains/phpstorm-workshop package and click OK. This will download all materials.

Here’s a 5-minute screencast guiding you through the materials:
