The Symfony2 framework adoption is becoming bigger and bigger and most of Symfony developers would like to know more about advanced features of the framework. This special Confoo workshop will help you dive deeply in advanced features and best practices you probably don't master. We will especially focus on demystifiing and experimenting the famous dependency injection principle and the associated Container object. Then, we will have a closer look at the security layer that provides authentication and authorization mechanisms with a fined grained ACL system. This session will also introduce some of the key concepts of HTTP caching using a reverse proxy like Varnish and handling Edge Side Includes. Of course, you will discover how to test the application to ensure its reliability and long lasting. Depending on the remaining time at our disposal, we will focus on some other cool features of the framework like forms handling, validation, internationalization, Twig extension or database intregration. To make this workshop the most efficient and practical for every one, we will hack on an existing Symfony2 application instead of starting from scratch. Don't forget to bring your laptop with you!
