Random things on PHP, Symfony and web development
There are plenty of great tools for debugging PHP applications like ones built with Symfony, but catching reasons for slow processes in production can still be a tough cookie.
On December 15th 2015 eZ Systems released their new generation of content management products. Building on a foundation from 1999 the new product suite sheds all legacy code and is built on the Symfony Full Stack Framework.
The Symfony project is known for providing high quality software. Since 2011 the Symfony2 framework has been a trusted base for creating web applications and the various components have been adopted by numerous popular Open Source projects like Laravel and phpBB.
Today is an exciting day for PHP developers as PHP 7.0.0 is unleashed and we've got some news on the future of Symfony.
Symfony 2.8 has just been released. It marks the end of the road for the Symfony 2.x series active development and further improvements will be done in the 3.x series from now on.
Version 2.8 is an LTS (Long Term Support) release and will be supported for bugfixes until November 2018 and security fixes until the same month of 2019.
In the previous article I discussed eCommerce applications built with Symfony technologies and the obviously glaring omission is Drupal Commerce 2. In this version the eCommerce extension is rewritten to be compatible with Drupal 8 and will introduce modern PHP development conventions and Symfony and other PHP components to the product.
