Writ­ing main­tain­able code is an art that takes effort and prac­tice to mas­ter.
Part of that art is learn­ing what tools and strate­gies will assist you in that effort. In this tuto­r­ial, we will cover a vari­ety of prac­tices and tools that can make your life, and the lives of your team mem­bers, eas­ier as you develop your appli­ca­tions. Among them, we will pro­vide overviews of:

• Ver­sion Control
• Cod­ing Standards
• Unit Test­ing basics
• QA tools: phpcs, phploc, phpmd, con­tin­u­ous inte­gra­tion, and more
• Team Col­lab­o­ra­tion tools, such as Skype, IRC, issue track­ers, and more
