A video course for the state-of-the-art PHP developer who wants to work efficiently and successfully in a beautiful IDE.
This course is already a couple years old and not all information will be 100% accurate anymore.
That's why the price was reduced by 30%.
Does this look like a comfortable workspace to you?
Let's be honest. By default, PhpStorm looks pretty ugly. They have a lot to offer and want to show that. I get that. But you deserve better.
What tools are really helpful?
Database, Git, Testing, Todos... You name it. PhpStorm supports it all. But does this mean you have to learn them all too? What are the features that really make an impact on your development workflow?
How to work fast in a slow IDE?
We know PhpStorm is not famous for being the fastest editor. That's ok because it shines somewhere else. It knows your code. Still, we need to work efficiently; is that too much to ask for? It's not. Handling such a powerful IDE is hard, but with the right tips and shortcuts, you can do this!
It's Time To Start Mastering Your Favorite IDE
Let me guide you through my battle-tested development workflow in a beautifully clean version of PhpStorm.
Tools that make a difference
You don't have to use everything that PhpStorm has to offer. Over the years, I have discovered the features that helped me the most in my development workflow.
- Refactoring
- Refactoring is what PhpStorm is famous for. It just knows your code, and that makes refactoring a breeze. The only step left is to learn how to use those features.
- Testing like a boss
- It is hard enough to learn how and what to test. That's why creating and running tests should be a no-brainer. I'm proud of my current testing flow, and I want to share that with you.
- Let's catch some bugs
- Debugging with PhpStorm is not everyone's favorite topic. It takes some time to get it all set up, and then you also need to get familiar with the given tools. Nobody has to go through this alone. Let me help you make debugging fun again in PhpStorm.
Look mom, no mouse
Nothing is slower than using your mouse. The keyboard is our friend on the way to efficiency. This is even more true since we like our IDE clean and distraction-free. I'm constantly working on my perfect shortcuts, and it is time to share them with you.
Level up your theme
Are you looking for a new and beautiful dark theme? Or do you prefer a light one? (I don't judge) Look no further and say hello to Rios, my custom PhpStorm theme.

Coming from being a huge VS Code lover, it was hard for me to switch over to PhpStorm due to it being clunky. Chris’s tips have made a huge difference and I now LOVE PHPStorm 😍

I’ve been using PhpStorm now for 5 years I decided to invest in Christoph’s new course, and I am so glad I did. I picked up loads of great tips and tricks that I’m already seeing rewards from in my day to day coding. Awesome course and teacher, recommended for both new comers and seasoned PHP Stormers.

Being efficient in your IDE is a must. I've been using PHPStorm for years and thought I knew a good amount of shortcuts. Christoph showed me 3 new ones in 3 minutes. Can't wait to learn more.
