TOOLS AND PARTNERS

Symfony

Basically, a framework consists of:

A toolbox - a set of prefabricated, rapidly integratable software components. This means that you will have to write less code, with less risk of error. This also means greater productivity and the ability to devote more time to doing those things which provide greater added value, such as managing guiding principles, side effects, etc.

Best Practices guaranteed! A methodology – an “assembly diagram” for applications. A structured approach may seem constraining at first. But in reality it allows developers to work both efficiently and effectively on the most complex aspects of a task, and the use of Best Practices guarantees the stability, maintainability and upgradeability of the applications you develop.

And although it might be obvious, we thought it best to say it anyway – Symfony is a PHP framework, which means that it permits web applications to be built in PHP!

Symfony is a philosophy

Next to being a PHP framework, Symfony is a philosophy.

What could be more useful than an application developed by users for their own needs? This is the story of the genesis of Symfony – born from the imagination of the web designers at SensioLabs, a web developer in its own right. Symfony was made available to everyone under an Open Source license. This benefits other developers, who also have the ability to improve it by adding their own modules. All this was done in an environment of Best Practices, standardization and interoperability of applications.

Community works!

And behind Symfony, there are people. Sensiolabs created Symfony to solve their own web development problems and they’re pleased to promote it. Behind Symfony there is also a community of developers, users, and contributors which has formed around Symfony over the past 5 years.
