Create a shop
with Symfony and Sylius
This four-day course is dedicated to Symfony and Sylius. It is the perfect training to master all the fundamental concepts and the most advanced tools. At the end of this workshop, you will work autonomously on the eCommerce framework based on Symfony!

Goals

This intensive four-day training combines both the basics of Symfony and Sylius. It covers all the fundamental topics of these Frameworks to allow you to create your eCommerce store.

First, you will start with the basics like navigation, directory structure, and building your very first dynamic web pages with Twig. Then you will dive deeper into more advanced topics and tools from Symfony and Sylius. Like, authentication and permissions, dependency injection, automated testing, and catalog building, among others.

This training is delivered by our expert instructors and Symfony/Sylius contributors, who like to share their experience, best practices, as well as tips and tricks to help you be more efficient and autonomous.
