Welcome to the best course of Symfony - the great PHP framework!

In this course you will learn Symfony from basic to advanced level!

By the end of this course you will be able to create both simple websites and complex dynamic web applications in the great Symfony PHP framework.

Very practical course! Almost all sections/concepts are explained using real life applications/scenarios. In this course we will create a huge real life app (probably you will not find a course where built more advanced app like in this course)

This is a very massive guide to Symfony, which is one of the most popular PHP frameworks. Symfony 4 version introduced a new approach to php frameworks - it starts small as a microframework and grows as you need new features. You install them using the amazing Symfony Flex tool. For example, if you are making a simple website and do not need a login functionality then there is no code responsible for logging in the framework directory. Thanks to this our application contains only as much as we really need.

**********************************************

The course consist of three main parts:

1. The theoretical part where I discuss the basic Symfony concepts on examples with effects on a web browser

2. In the second part we will build a simple application in Symfony - a list of tasks to be performed (database used)

3. In part 3 we will build an advanced web application for video subscription in which we integrate PayPal for payments, multi-level nested video categories, communication with Vimeo API, deployment to Heroku server

as well as:

BONUS section added (October 2019) - basics of Symfony Messenger Component, RabbitMQ message broker and CQRS pattern (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) with practical example by simulating e-commerce system consisting of main app and cooperating microservices.

Course update: (January 2020) new section added REST API with Symfony & API Platform

**********************************************

During the course we will be covering many simple and advanced Symfony concepts such as: routing, controllers, views, database with doctrine orm, entities and relationships between them: one to one, one to many and many to many; events & listeners, security topics such as login, registration, authorization; also unit and functional testing, dependency injection, service container, symfony services, doctrine table inheritance with polymorphic database queries, REST API and many more.

This course is a combination of theory and project-based learning approach. Learning by building real projects is the best way to learn programming languages and tools like php frameworks.

All of the course applications were made using Symfony 4 (except applications for rest api section - Symfony 5). Upgrade to Symfony 5 section was added to the course. According to Symfony standard, there are no any new features in Symfony 5.0 compared to Symfony 4.4.

Remember that only practice makes perfect. If necessary, study the course two or more times. Take notes during the course like a real student. Use documentations, Google search. Finally, try to write the application yourself, not necessarily the same as in the course, you can try to change, add something, etc. No single course will make you a very good web developer. It can only bring you closer to this goal. The more practice, the better.

QA

Question:

You used Symfony 4 and Symfony 5 in this course for creating apps to practice knowledge. Why not use only the latest version? Does it mean that this course is outdated and I will not benefit from it?

Answer:

Absolutely not! In tools like PHP frameworks the fundamentals and base syntax almost never change regardless of the version. But of course any maintained software evolves allthe time. That's why I always suggest you to use the version of software that instructor uses in the course. It prevents from errors and confusions. As a someone who wants to learn web development you should be aware, that real web development involves also adapting the code to newer versions if necessary - but this is not always necessary, not every company do that. Software changes so often that the instructors would not be able to create the courses so that they match the latest version. This is not even advisable, because as a student you would loose an important aspect of real web development - the awareness that everything is changing and you need to be able to deal with it.
