Lean and Mean Dev with PhpStorm (for Symfony)

Tip: This course is built on Symfony 2, but the important concepts of setting up your editor apply to any Symfony version.

Have you ever written out a long use statement by hand or navigated deep directories to find a file? Then your development is about to get a lot faster.

PhpStorm makes modern Php development a joy - especially for Symfony2 users. In this tutorial, we'll use PhpStorm to take a lot of the grunt work out of your coding and help you get things done faster:

• Get the life-changing Symfony plugin
• Auto-complete namespaces (please stop typing them)!
• Tricks for annotations, Doctrine, forms, Twig and more
• Refactoring
• Live Templates
• Fast navigation
• Symfony service integration
• .... (and always) well-intentioned jokes.
