The Team • • • • Who’s on your team now? Who do you need to hire? Outsource? Training internally? Bulk up on PHP knowledge. Trial and error? Can you afford the time? Recommendation: PHP Certiﬁcation to fast-track your learning process.

Tools • • The right tools help you get productive fast. Step 4 - Tools Development Platform: • • • • • • • Zend Studio PDT • Eclipse Development: Eclipse• PDT / PHPClipse Zend Studio PhpEd KomodoVim Komodo Version Control • • • • Syntax Check Unit Testing / Debugging / Navigation • Cross-Referencing PHP Unit, XDebug, Zend Debugger Philosophy in Programming Society Subversion / GIT Proﬁling • Debugging & IDE’s versus Editors SOCIETY Ph.P Slide 27: 2. Tools • Recommendations: • • • • Leverage on current development environment. Version control very important for teams. Debug and test early to avoid problems later in deployment / production environment. Automate the testing process as much as possible using unit testing (they call it “sanity check” for a reason). Philosophy in Programming Society SOCIETY Ph.P Slide 28: 2. Tools for Testing • • Testing for PHP applications: • • • • PHPUnit http://www.phpunit.de/ SimpleTest http://www.lastcraft.com/simple_test.php CruiseControl http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/ phpUnderControl http://www.phpundercontrol.org/ Continuous Integration: Philosophy in Programming Society SOCIETY Ph.P Slide 29: 2.

Tools: •Level Architectures High • UML • Whiteboards Design Patterns • SOA SOCIETY • Modeling Class diagrams. Ph.P Philosophy in Programming Society Slide 32: 3. Processes & Frameworks • • • Good foundation will help in making your code more maintainable and scalable. SOP & Best Practices Use a framework • • • • Zend Framework (http://framework.zend.com) CakePHP (http://cakephp.org) Symfony (http://www.symfony-project.org) Code Ignitor (http://codeigniter.com/) Ph.P Philosophy in Programming Society SOCIETY Slide 33: 3. Processes & Frameworks • Extendable & Customisable Open Source Software • • • • • WordPress, Drupal, Joomla Alfresco, SugarCRM, VTiger Megento, OSCommerce, ZenCart Forces developers to adhere to certain way of doing things.
