We need code to work with in this lab, in order to tune our editor workflow. Let’s do that in this episode.
Labs
Labs are hands-on coding projects that you build along with Tonya as she explains the code, concepts, and thought processes behind it. You can use the labs to further your code knowledge or to use right in your projects. Each lab ties into the Docx to ensure you have the information you need.
Each lab is designed to further your understanding and mastery of code. You learn more about how to think about its construction, quality, maintainability, programmatic and logical thought, and problem-solving. While you may be building a specific thing, Tonya presents the why of it to make it adaptable far beyond that specific implementation, thereby giving you the means to make it your own, in any context.
Tune the Look
You work in the editor all day long. You might as well take the time to pick the look and style you want to give you a pleasing work environment. The look of your work environment matters. A proper color combination, font size, and font type help to keep you working and motivated. Eye fatigue is a real thing. And the wrong environment can make you bored and tired. In this episode, we’ll walk through how to customize the entire look of PhpStorm. We’ll install a theme and then walk through the individual settings, allowing you to tune the look […]

Quick Navigation Shortcuts
We often move around in the filesystem, changing directories, and typing long lines of commands. We can alias those commands and navigation to give ourselves shortcuts. How? We define them in our .bash_profile file. Let’s do that in this episode.
VirtualBox and Vagrant
Recorded: February 25, 2018 We want to run a localhost web server on our Mac in order to simulate a real world web server. That means we want to run it in a virtual environment and container, separate from our computer. In this episode, you will install VirtualBox, Vagrant, and 3 Vagrant plugins. Click here to get the link to all of these dependencies.
Xcode
Recorded: February 25, 2018 In this episode, we’ll talk about Xcode and then get it installed.
Local Development Environment Setup for Mac
Your local web development environment is critical to your ability to efficiently produce high quality and well-tested software projects. This environment should be incredibly easy to use. It should support the way you work, making you better and faster while demanding very little of your time. In this hands-on lab, you will setup your local web development environment. It will include version control with Git, helper apps, package managers (Composer, Node, and npm), task runner with Gulp, local webserver, and a professional editor.
