Symfony2 for Midgard Developers

We hosted a full-day Symfony2 workshop for some of the Finnish Midgard developer community today. As I've written before, Midgard is now transitioning to Symfony2 as our PHP web framework of choice, and this workshop was organized to support that.

Subjects discussed included:

  • Symfony2 as a central PHP ecosystem
  • Basic ideas behind Symfony2
  • Introduction to PHP namespaces
  • Installation with Symfony Standard Edition
  • Running Symfony2 with AppServer-in-PHP
  • Creating a new Bundle
  • Templating in Symfony2
  • Routing in Symfony2
  • Using the Midgard content repository with Symfony2
  • Running MidCOM components inside Symfony2

You can also find the Pinpoint sources for the tutorial from GitHub. I'll try to keep them updated for future use.
