Visual Studio Code, also known as VSCode, is now one of the most popular code editors in the world. Once configured with a few useful extensions, this cross-platform code editor is often considered to be like an IDE by many developers for developing in PHP frameworks like Zend Framework, Symfony, Yii, Laravel, CakePHP, popular Content Management Systems (CMS) like Drupal, Magento, and WordPress, Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle and others. Don't let the free price tag of this professional class developer tool fool you.

This evening, Michael Milette from TNG Consulting Inc. will be sharing tips on how to set up Visual Studio Code for general PHP development. We will be exploring:

- How to install some useful VS Code extensions for PHP development.
- What to look for when choosing a useful theme.
- How to find a list of keyboard bindings and customize them.
- How to install and configure XDEBUG in XAMPP.
- How to set breakpoints and use XDEBUG to trace through PHP source code in VS Code.
- How to access your MySQL database from within VS Code.
- How to integrate VS Code with Git source code management.
- What really useful feature is missing from VS Code that is keeping Notepad++ on my computer?
- ...and more.
