Turbocharged Development with Docker, PhpStorm and Xdebug Turbocharged Development (Online) - Nov 2020

My name is James, and I have a confession to make: I’ve been a var_dump()er my whole life. I tried Xdebug once years back, but a chance brush with social media from it’s author prompted the question: is Xdebug still relevant? Is it hard to set up? In a modern developer world of Docker containers, code quality tooling, CI pipelines and advanced IDE’s, it was time to revisit how we go about writing Software at Jump24 - in this talk I’ll set up Xdebug on a test project and show you how you can turbocharge your development like we did.
