Introduction

Now that you have your headlights turned on, you can have that "come what may" attitude and set out to drive your favorite car—PHP. Go ahead and give it your best shot now that you have your beloved tool ready—PhpStorm. PhpStorm will take care of eliminating the distractions from your life and will let you concentrate on programming.

You can think of any aspect in solving a problem using PHP, and PhpStorm will be there to assist you.

Do you have an imminent problem to solve, some problem that appears daunting to you, or some problem that has challenged your existence as a software engineer? If you stick to the software engineering principles, PhpStorm will leverage your capacity and let you do wonders while solving the problems at hand. PhpStorm lets you focus on designing your business logic by offloading you from the worries of remembering the finer details, such as the exact method signature and the list of parameters.

Imagine that you have been called by your manager to discuss some new feature for the business that has to be developed in, as usual, no time at all. You are again in a fix. That decision to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea again looms large.

PhpStorm users need not worry. They have a third option—to board a helicopter and reach their destination from the current scenario.

You were brave enough to gather the requirements from the business end. Which way do you chose now? Decide whether you want to go right or left. If you go to the right, you will take the route to create a new project. If you go to the left, you will take the route to reuse an existing project and make modifications in it.

Wherever you go and whichever road you take, you have to reach the same destination. In the end, you have to report to your manager what you did to achieve the target. Not only do you have to decide quickly, but you also have to act swiftly.
