First edition: How Symfony Changed My Life, by Matthias Noback

For the first edition of PolderPHP, we have found a great speaker in the form of Matthias Noback! Even though he already has two books under his belt, regularly speaks at great conferences, and gives a neat Hexagonal Architecture training, he will still take the time to make our first edition a great success.

Talk: How Symfony changed my life

Before Symfony was spelled with a capital “S” there was another symfony, the first version of the framework. It already meant a lot to me at the time. But with the arrival of Symfony 2 it became clear that something very important was happening in the world of PHP programming. It appears that this framework is able to turn amateur website makers (like I used to be) into actual software developers. What is the secret? What makes Symfony so special? And why am I still hooked?

We’ll look at pieces of code, the Symfony ecosystem, the people behind it, the things that have been written about it, and the experience that I have with it. We’ll take a trip down memory lane, collecting pieces for our Symfony scrapbook, while we try to construct an answer to these questions.
