How to configure phpStorm with EditorConfig and PHPMD:
-----------------------------------------------------

PHPMD:
------

phpmd (PHP Mess Detector) is a static analysis tool that will find issues in your code you never knew you had. Your code will still run, follow a few of phpmd's recommendations though and it will be better!

phpmd is already bundled and enabled in phpstorm, but in order to more easily manage versions and add custom rulesets, you should do the following:

ArchTaqi

Set variables in .bashrc file

don't forget to change your path correctly!

export GOPATH=$HOME/golang export GOROOT=/usr/local/opt/go/libexec export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

Set variables in .zshrc file

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

• -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
• -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

1. Follow standard conventions.
2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

Basic RESTful API with Symfony 2 + FOSRestBundle (JSON format only) + FOSUserBundle + FOSOauthServerBundle

The API we are creating in this gist will follow these rules :

• The API only returns JSON responses
• All API routes require authentication
• Authentication is handled via OAuth2 with password Grant Type only (no need for Authorization pages and such).
• API versioning is managed via a subdomain (e.g. v1.api.example.com)

The API will be written in PHP with the Symfony 2 framework. The following SF2 bundles are used :

#!/bin/bash -

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=<your aws access key>
export AWS_SECRET_KEY=<your aws secret>

date_current=`date -u +%Y-%m-%d`
aws rds describe-db-snapshots --snapshot-type "automated" --db-instance-identifier <db_instance_name> | grep `date +%Y-%m-%d` | grep rds | tr -d '",' | awk '{ print $2 }' > /tmp/sandbox-snapshot.txt
snapshot_name=`cat /tmp/<db_instance_name>-snapshot.txt`
target_snapshot_name=`cat /tmp/<db_instance_name>-snapshot.txt | sed 's/rds://'`

FWIW: I'm not the author of the content presented here (which is an outline from Edmond Lau's book). I've just copy-pasted it from somewhere over the Internet, but I cannot remember what exactly the original source is. I was also not able to find the author's name, so I cannot give him/her the proper credits.
