OK, I'm getting started with #Symfony.
Can anyone recommend a beginner friendly tutorial?
The official docs jump from 0-100 pretty quickly.
Alternately, anyone able to do some individual tutoring on the basics of design?
I've already got my routing set up, twig templates, and basic DB access. I just need to know the most efficient way of setting up something more complex and deploying it.
Right, getting there!
I'm rewriting https://openbenches.org/ using Symfony to
a) teach myself something new and
b) make it less of a code disaster zone
Going well so far. I can retrieve benches from the database and render them either as HTML through Twig, or as a JSON API.
Not 100% sure I'm doing it in the most Symfonic(?) way - but it's a lot easier than I was expecting. And, I hope, should make maintenance easier going forward.
I think I'm nearly done rewriting @openbenches in #Symfony.
It has been an… interesting learning experience.
Forced me to think properly about the architecture and layout.
Still not 100% right - and a few daft bodges - but should make future development easier.
@Edent@openbenches I've played with Symfony for a few projects and always come away feeling like it's a sledgehammer cracking a nut. But that might say more about my projects than Symfony ;-)
@Edent any chance of adding a fediverse login and a migration from Twitter as an auth provider in the initial version? Only thing keeping my Twitter account alive!
