Symfony2 frameworks connection to Drupal 8

Vortrag | english | Fortgeschrittene | 45 Minuten | Tipi Koivisto

Symfony2 [1] is a full stack PHP framework. So what it has to do with Drupal then? Very little at the moment, but Drupal 8 will be using components from Symfony2.

Therefore Drupal Devs should be atleast aware what Symfony2 is.

I will explain the current situation concerning Symfony2 connection to Drupal 8. Then I will give a quick glance to frameworks and Symfony2 framework. Then I'll explain basic concepts and technologies.

At the end I'll show how to implement a simple CRUD-program that we could see the similarities to Drupal concepts and architecture. You will realize that as a PHP developer with the knowledge of Drupal architecture you have a good basis to learn a new framework.
