Prerequisites:

• Mastering PHP essentials

Goals:

• This intensive four-day training combines both the basics of Symfony and Sylius. It covers all the fundamental topics of these Frameworks to allow you to create your eCommerce store.

• First, you will start with the basics like navigation, directory structure, and building your very first dynamic web pages with Twig.

• Then you will dive deeper into more advanced topics and tools from Symfony and Sylius. Like, authentication and permissions, dependency injection, automated testing, and catalog building, among others.
