Symfony, Advanced Techniques & REST API Design

logo
Originally created for the internal needs of the french SensioLabs company, the Symfony framework has been open sourced in 2005 to become the one of the most famous PHP frameworks for building professionnal web applications. It's already used and supported by a growing PHP developers community from many well known Open Source projects such as Drupal, phpBB, Doctrine, Composer, Silex, Behat or eZ Publish.

This workshop is targeted to developers who already have some practical experience with the Symfony framework.

In only two days of intensively practicing Symfony with a SensioLabs Symfony Certified expert, this workshop will guide you into the understanding of some of the most interesting and advanced features of the Symfony framework.
