# CGX#12: PHPStorm

[PHPStorm](https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/)
is a highly professional
[PHP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP)
[IDE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment)
working on most OS.

Others stand no change against the product from house
[Jetbeain](https://www.jetbrains.com/).

After bigger and bigger challenges, disappointments, and limitations,
and being very familiar and good with Eclipse,
I really gave PHPStorm a chance and it was a breathtaking experience.

In this video we discuss wording and explore the most outstanding features of this fabulous IDE.

The best programming software product i have ever used,
and definately the **best** PHP IDE.

Amazing! - gizmore

## CGX#12 PHPStorm: License

The license and *paywall*(?) always made PHPStorm a no-go for me, but this is **NOT** the case.
There are very fleixble license models, which are totally fair.

- Preview (maybe re-new?)
 - Lifelong (every licensed version)
 - Monthly (Two IDEs)
 - Personal (fair)
 - Company (fair)
 - Commercial always possible

## CGX#12 PHPStorm: Wording

Some general PHPStorm terminalogy.

- `Indentions` - Code Whitespaces
 - `Inspections` - Code Validators
 - `Formatting` - All of that!
 - `Completion` - Source generation
 - `Refactoring` - Code alterations
 
 - `Excluded` - No Formatting, ...?
 - `SourceRoot` - But Completion!
