Goals: This intensive five-day training combines both the « SF7START / Getting Started with Symfony 7 » and « SF7ADVANCED / Advancing in Symfony 7 Development » courses and covers all the fundamental topics of Symfony 7. You'll start with the basics such as installing Symfony, navigating the directory structure, and generating your very first dynamic web pages with Twig. Then, you will dive more in-depth into more advanced topics and tools. Like forms and data validation, authentication and authorizations, dependency injection, automated testing, and HTTP caching. This training is delivered by our Symfony expert and contributor instructors, who enjoy sharing their experience, best practices as well as tips and tricks to help you be more efficient and autonomous with Symfony 7.

Evaluation Method:

A control of knowledge in the form of multiple choice questions is carried out during and at the end of the training. It allows to validate and take back the points not assimilated.

A certificate of successful completion of a training action is sent to the learner.

A copy of the attendance sheet is transmitted.

Day 1 — Symfony Foundations

  • Creating entities: mapping PHP classes to database tables with attributes

  • Migrations: versioning and applying schema changes safely

  • Fixtures: populating the database with realistic development data

Day 3 — Relationships & User Input

  • Entity relationships: modelling associations between objects (ManyToOne, OneToMany, ManyToMany)

Why SensioLabs?

With a team of 12 developers all using different coding habits, we needed more than a quick workshop. This 5-day core training acted as a total reset button for our technical debt. Now, our code reviews are more efficient because we’re finally referencing the same official best practices. After the training session, we received follow-up coaching. Having a SensioLabs coach review our actual production code helped us bridge the gap between the best practices of Symfony and our specific project architecture. It helped us a lot to use the Symfony framework the right way. It has easily saved us weeks of development and improvement on our product.

Marc-Antoine Thoureaux

Engineering Manager- A Fintech scale-up

I’ve been using Symfony for a while, but I always felt like I was only using about 20% of what it can actually do. The 5-day course was intense, but it really helped me understand everything in Symfony. Even though I joined remotely, the setup worked very well. The trainer actually took the time to dig into our specific questions. I came away with a solid overview of the framework and how the components fit together. Thank you to our trainer!
