Developing PHP applications is faster and more secure if you use a framework like Symfony. Learning the right way to use Symfony puts a very powerful tool at your fingertips.
Content and Overview
This course is designed for developers who know PHP but don’t know how to use Symfony. I designed the course for developers who want to develop full, feature-rich applications quickly and easily using the Symfony framework.
This course takes you from basic PHP knowledge to confidently working with Symfony’s core features, including routing, controllers, services, and database integration with Doctrine. Step by step, you’ll learn how real-world applications are built using Symfony’s clean architecture and best practices.
- Suitable for all PHP developers, you’ll start by learning the core features of Symfony.
- You’ll learn how to organise your code the Symfony way, and how to work efficiently with it.
- We’ll build a full web application from scratch, with each concept explained in detail at every stage.
- Throughout the course, we’ll build code that you can reuse in all your projects.
- All the source code developed in the lectures is available to download.
- All the time we’ll adhere to industry standards and best practices.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to build your own Symfony applications, create RESTful APIs, handle user input safely, and understand how to structure maintainable PHP projects like a professional developer.
Complete with all the code shown in the lectures, you’ll be able to work alongside the instructor and will receive a verifiable certificate of completion upon finishing the course.
Also, at all times throughout the course you have access to the instructor in the Q&A section to ask for help with any topic related to the course.
