What you'll learn
Symfony is a PHP web application framework that leverages an MVC design approach. Once you've mastered Symfony, you'll not only be able to build something amazing, you'll also be familiar with some of the most important programming concepts and web best practices of today. Join us as we start from the beginning: installing Symfony and starting to build our first pages. We'll then build a real events site complete with forms, security, complex database relationships and much more. Along the way, we'll learn about services - a hugely important concept to modern frameworks that will unleash you going forward.
