Symfony 7: the fast track

This training is from the book "Symfony: The Fast Track" by Fabien Potencier. In 2 days, it will teach you how to build a Symfony application from A to Z using new practices and new components.

Course Program:

We will build an application with all the infrastructure of modern apps: database, application and HTTP cache server, message bus for background processing, etc. We will start from the basics with the installation of a skeleton application, the creation of a data model and a "backoffice", then we will add screens for users, a security system to partition rights. We will enrich the business rules to send notifications, send emails, manage a publication workflow, etc. Finally, we will optimize the application for production through HTTP and application caches, through asset management (JS/CSS/images) and secrets management. To secure each step, we will write tests to guarantee non-regressions.
