When I first started with PHP a long time ago, I really had trouble setting up work environment.
I had no clue about what I was doing.

When managing projects, one usually focuses on big things: biggest costs, biggest features, biggest risks, etc. The same is with building an eCommerce site – the biggest, most important things are, well, most important.

Remember that time when you wanted to create a Magento shell or php script to perform some action, but didn’t know where to put it?
