Are you tired of using print, echo, var_dump (and variants like drupal_set_message and kint) to debug your code? It's time to level up your game and step into modern web development best practices! Sure, some of you may be using PHPStorm. But, why not learn how to do things with totally FOSS software and be confident that you've got a tool you can use on any project? In this presentation Marc Isaacson will demonstrate how we can use Vim, Vundle, and VDebug (along with XDebug) to set up an awesome FOSS IDE that allows us to do interactive source debugging.
Pizza and socializing starts at 6:30 p.m. Discussion and presentations start at 7. At 8:30 we'll head down to Renegade Brewing Co. to continue hanging out. The meet-up will take place at Open Media Foundation, just south of Downtown Denver. 700 Kalamath St. Denver, CO 80204 map Add a comment if you have a question or want to share something! Pizza and Drinks will be provided by Aten Design Group.

This tarball contains the screenshots I shared that cover all the steps I took to set things up. The last screen shot even shows my .bash_history so that you can see the whole series of commands.

Thanks Marc, great demo, I'm
Thanks Marc, great demo, I'm going to try out VimDebug!
Thanks for posting the links!
Now I remember the Python 3 not working with VDebug thing. I know there is a branch or PR in there to update VDebug, but I didn't try it. Looks promising from the reports. https://github.com/joonty/vdebug/issues/296#issuecomment-346864026
