Symfony Framework Workshop, I’m invited!
A couple of weeks I got an invitation from Stefan Koopmanschap for a Symfony Framework workshop. Stefan Koopmanschap is a PHP developer, consultant and trainer and works at Unet. Besides that he is also the symfony Community Manager.
So what is Symfony Framework?
Symfony is a web application framework written in PHP which follows the model-view-controller (MVC) paradigm. Released under the MIT license, Symfony is free software
Goal
Symfony aims to speed up the creation and maintenance of web applications and to replace repetitive coding tasks. It requires a few prerequisites for installation: Unix, Linux, Mac OS or Microsoft Windows with a web server and PHP 5 installed. It is currently compatible with the following Object-relational mappings: Propel and Doctrine.
Symfony has low performance overheads when dealing with an environment that supports a PHP accelerator. It should be noted however, that in typical shared hosting environments where a PHP accelerator is not available, Symfony suffers from a relatively high performance overhead.
