![]() I thought I might have to switch back to PhpEd, but that wasn’t really an option, since the team needs to be on the same editor. I found the themes to be noisy, with eye-popping colors that interfered with my ability to read the code. Monokai and Darcula, two of the default themes seemed to be the most popular at work, so I tried them. This doesn’t sound like something significant, but it turned out to be very significant for me.įor one thing, when I made the switch off of PhpEd, I had trouble with the default themes that ship with PhpStorm. The first one probably has the biggest impact, which is creating a custom color theme. But I thought it was important to share some thoughts because I had some unexpected benefits from using PhpStorm. Until I watched the series of videos, I never really understood the true power of an IDE. So, getting back to PhpStorm and Laracasts. These are very helpful videos, especially if you are working through my book Yii 2 For Beginners. Also, just a side note, these videos are free to watch, so you don’t have to be a subscriber, though I wholeheartedly recommend subscrbing, especially if you are using Laravel.Īnother side note, if you are using Yii 2, then check out DoingItEasy on Youtube. And a big part of the reason for that is that Laracasts has 23 videos dedicated to PhpStorm. This turned out to be extremely helpful to me. But recently, we have changed our development environment, and our team chose PhpStorm. We used it at work, so that’s how I ended up using it. So let me first say, there’s nothing inherently wrong with PhpEd, it’s a fairly solid editor, and it’s probably capable handling more than I am aware of. ![]() I recently made the switch to PhpStorm from PhpED and I love it.
