PHP: on-boarding new developer

• "Are you asking what tools we'd recommend? I love PhpStorm and HeidiSQL"
• "If the newbie has experience with a few other languages, he/she should be able to pick up PHP on the fly. As such, I would have him/her read all of the documentation for the framework your team uses, i.e. Laravel, Symphony, etc. Reading through these framework docs will not only give the newbie an idea of PHP's syntax, but also a head start on understanding how your framework functions. There are so many good articles and videos on Laravel, for example. and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the PSR documentation at php-fig.org."
• "Honestly the documentation for Laravel is so good that I would seriously consider starting there."
• "If they have no php and minimal development background: https://www.amazon.com/Wicked-Cool-PHP-Real-World-Difficult/dp/1593271735"
• "It's not modern but it's a quick, results oriented way to get moving. After they have some basis they can move into small projects
