Discover the story behind JetBrains Qodana, and how two decades of work on code quality helped shape the tools developers use today.
In this video, one of the creators of PhpStorm and WebStorm looks back at his career at JetBrains, from exporting IntelliJ IDEA inspection results into TeamCity and creating early quality gates to building modern development tools for PHP and JavaScript.
You’ll learn how the JetBrains team:
• Laid the technical foundations for Qodana
• Brought the IntelliJ IDEA experience to PHP through PhpStorm
• Co-created PhpStorm and WebStorm
• Improved PHP code completion and type inference
• Introduced PHPDoc conventions that influenced the PHP language
• Collaborated with PHP core developers and the Xdebug community
• Helped make PHP faster, safer, and easier to work with
This is a fascinating look at the evolution of PHP development, JetBrains IDEs, static code analysis, and Qodana’s journey from an early idea to a modern code quality platform.
