By PhiQuill Publishing

Here's a bulleted list of what you will learn from this book, designed to be around 4000 characters:

In this book, you will learn to:

Master Symfony's Core & Philosophy:

Deeply understand Symfony's component-based architecture, philosophy of uncoupling, and reusability.Navigate the Symfony project structure, request-response lifecycle, and the role of the Kernel.Set up an advanced, containerized development environment using Docker, Symfony CLI, Composer, and IDE integration.Harness the full power of Symfony's Service Container for robust dependency injection, autowiring, and efficient service management.

Build Robust Application Features:

Implement advanced routing techniques, including parameters, constraints, custom loaders, and internationalized routes.Craft lean, efficient controllers, manage request/response objects expertly, and handle exceptions gracefully.Master the Twig templating engine for dynamic UIs, from syntax and inheritance to custom extensions, security, and asset integration.Construct complex, secure, and user-friendly forms, handling data transformation, validation, CSRF protection, and file uploads.Ensure data integrity with the Validator component, implementing built-in and custom validation constraints and groups.

Master Data Persistence with Doctrine ORM:

Leverage Doctrine ORM for powerful database interactions, defining entities, properties, and mapping types.Expertly map complex entity associations (One-to-One, One-to-Many, Many-to-Many) and manage fetch strategies.Write intricate queries using Doctrine Query Language (DQL) and the QueryBuilder.Manage database schema evolution seamlessly with Doctrine Migrations.Utilize advanced Doctrine concepts like events, inheritance mapping, locking, second-level caching, and filters.

Implement Advanced Symfony Capabilities:

Build scalable, responsive applications with asynchronous processing and message queues using the Messenger component.Manage complex business logic and stateful processes effectively with the Workflow component.Decouple your application modules and enhance maintainability using the EventDispatcher component and custom events.Internationalize (i18n) and localize (l10n) your applications for a global audience.

Develop Modern APIs with API Platform:

Rapidly build feature-rich REST and GraphQL APIs by leveraging API Platform with Doctrine entities.Customize API resources, operations, serialization, deserialization, and validation.Implement filtering, pagination, sorting, and secure your API endpoints.Automatically generate API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI) and understand hypermedia concepts.Extend API Platform with custom logic, data providers/persisters, and integrate real-time updates with Mercure.

Structure and Deploy Enterprise-Grade Applications:

Create and manage reusable Bundles to structure large applications and promote code sharing.Implement robust configuration management across multiple environments, including secrets handling.Optimize application performance with advanced caching strategies (HTTP, application-level).Establish effective logging, monitoring (Monolog, ELK, Prometheus), and profiling (Blackfire.io) practices.Develop comprehensive testing strategies: unit (PHPUnit), integration, and functional tests.Deploy Symfony applications efficiently and reliably using Docker, cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure), and zero-downtime strategies.Apply advanced performance optimization techniques and enterprise security best practices (OWASP, CSP).
