Developing a new web application should not mean reinventing the
wheel. Thats why a framework is an essential item in your
development toolbox. It helps you respect coding standards; write
bulletproof, maintainable code; and focus on business rules rather
than waste time on repetitive tasks. This book introduces you to
symfony, the leading framework for PHP developers, showing you how
to wield its many features to develop web applications faster and
more efficiently, even if you only know a bit of PHP.
In "The Definitive Guide to symfony," you will learn about the
Model-View-Controller architecture and the crucial role it plays in
making frameworks like symfony possible. The book also covers
framework installation and configuration, and shows you how to
build pages, deal with templates, manage requests and sessions, and
communicate with databases and servers. You will see how symfony
can make your life easier by effectively managing form data,
enhancing the user experience with Ajax, internationalizing
applications for a global audience, and using smart URLs. Authors
FranAois Zaninotto and Fabien Potencier put a strong emphasis on
the tools that symfony provides for professional environments,
showing you how to take advantage of unit tests, scaffolding,
plug-ins, the command line, and extensible configuration. And since
frameworks often raise performance-related debate, this book will
give you many tips and techniques for monitoring and improving your
applications performance, from caching to expert configuration
tweaks.
Always keen to offer practical instruction, the authors include
a lot of code examples, expert tips, best practices, and
illustrations throughout this book, with the goal of providing a
resource that satisfies the educational needs of symfonys rapidly
growing user community.
