Symfony 7, yes! If you're ready to get serious about web dev - whether you're building a JSON API or a rich web app - you've come to the right place! Symfony is the famous backbone for the most popular PHP libraries, embraces object-oriented best practices and... it's just fun to use!

I want you to feel dangerous with Symfony and love the process! In this tutorial, we get to learn the fundamentals of Symfony, build real stuff and learn the how and why behind how things work. And... we'll do it by building a space-themed site (because I'm a sci-fi geek):

Create a new (and tiny!) Symfony app (it's lean but mean)
Set up a local web server with the symfony binary
Get your editor (PHPStorm) + plugins primed for Symfony
Dive into Symfony Flex & the "recipes" system
Add some 3rd party packages and bundles
Routes, controllers and Responses!
The mighty bin/console tool
Head-first into Twig & templating
Your new favorite debugging tool: the web debug toolbar
Simple, but crazy-powered CSS & JS setup with AssetMapper!
Install & Running Tailwind CSS
Intro into Stimulus & Turbo for JavaScript & an SPA (single page app) feel
Create a JSON API endpoint
All-important "service objects": a quick tour of using them and creating your own
Say hello to MakerBundle

Let's boldly go!

This is the best place to learn how to handle any version of Symfony.
Until now, I am still perplexed, but also happy, by the creation of the Assetmapper component with which it is no longer necessary to use Webpack encore. Will AssetMapper be the final nail in the coffin of node, npm, yarn and Webpack encore?
I don't know what new surprises Symfony 7 will bring, I just hope it brings new game changer features like the AssetMapper component.

Hey @simfonyace ,

That's the plan with the AssetMapper actually! But you know, the programming world is changing quickly :) But AssetMapper really has a big potential to stay on top pretty long.

Cheers!

I'm just starting a new web project. And I choose to use Symfony after working on the legacy from scratch project.
A lot to learn. Hope this course will help!

TOP: great courses and very clear instructions. I only program for fun, but I have no problem understanding your tutorials and I learned a lot!
TIP: It feels you're not finishing tutorials before the next big Symfony upgrade where you start from scratch (is that really necessary(?!); Symfony 4 Track: 8 courses; Symfony 5 Track: 5 courses; Symfony 6 Track: 3 courses: Symfony 7 Track: first course announced... Maybe just focus on the differences between the previous and the new version?

TOP: you keep your courses up to date, going into latest developments (like Turbo for instance)
TIP: Symfony 7 goes into SPA, could you also include PWA (Progressive Web App)?

Keep on rocking!

Hey @odds!

Thanks for the nice comment - I appreciate you!

It feels you're not finishing tutorials before the next big Symfony upgrade where you start from scratch

That's super true - and my fault for Symfony 6. We're going to be better for Symfony 7. Unfortunately, we can't just focus on the differences between the versions or point people at a Symfony 6 tutorial and say "this is still relevant". Well, we do that sometimes, but it's not ideal. When people are learning Symfony "7", they really need all the tutorials to be consistent, full & new for that version. That being said, it is a challenge to update all of them. But we're improving some processes internally. We just need to be faster :).

TIP: Symfony 7 goes into SPA, could you also include PWA (Progressive Web App)?

I've been diving into this lately! Expect to see this topic coming up - hopefully with a tutorial - this year. Related PR: https://github.com/symfony/ux/pull/1350

Cheers!
