POMoving from Java to PHP
text
Body
copied!<p>Recently I've made a move to PHP coding from the mobile Java world. In the past I also coded and tried to gather as much knowledge as possible about the Java EE platform. I got used to all the amazing possibilities of coding in Eclipse that now I can see I tend to miss or just don't know how to achieve such a fluency.</p> <p><strong>Is there any good blog post, a tutorial, or maybe even a book on how to achieve the best possible toolset working with PHP?</strong></p> <p>From what I've already learnt is this:</p> <ul> <li>use vim. It is indeed an amazing flow having fingers on the keyboard all the time</li> <li>when I want to find usages of a function, I grep</li> <li>I use ctags and the vim's plugin command tjump to go to method definitions</li> </ul> <p><em><strong>Somehow though every time I switch from vim to the command line to grep something I feel slightly annoyed. It's like using search in Eclipse for the sake of figuring out a class hierarchy for instance.</em></strong></p> <p>I believe there might be some of you who went through the same process and found good and well working solutions to things that Java engineers already take for granted that they're just there.</p> <p>I know this is a very generic question, however my intention is to either get a link to an article describing all that I mentioned or just gather a lot of tips if that's the case with PHP (and it seems to me that this is the way it works generally at the moment - I hope that's not true).</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: My current OS is Mac OS X, so cross platform solutions are preferred :-)</p>
