Learn Symfony 7 by building something CURRENT and REAL

"This is THE BEST WAY to learn any framework!"

I’ve been using the Symfony framework for several years and I can GUARANTEE YOU that the best way to learn Symfony is to build something real.


This is how I’ve seen many people learn the framework and their understanding and progress has been fast enough to write production code in a short space of time.

The goal of this course is not to show you every single Symfony feature but to use it to solve a real-world problem…this way, you’ll learn a lot of the features anyway, including many which are not taught anywhere else.


What we will build…


The project we will work on is a microservice which subscribes to marketing-related webhooks. It is based on projects which I have worked on in a commercial setting. Everything I show you is current and real. 

We will start from scratch and every line of code will be explained. Every decision rationalized.

By the end of the course you’ll have a superior understanding of Symfony, microservices, webhooks, and event-driven architecture.

By the end of the course you will have a complete understanding of all these concepts and components

Symfony 7 Framework - Microservices - Event-driven Architecture
Routing - Controller classes - Healthchecks
Webhooks - PHPStan and Codesniffer - HTTP Client Component
Symfony Application Testing - DTOs - Serializer Component
Autowiring and Config - Code Quality Tests - Factory Classes - Custom Exceptions
Testing Tricky Scenarios - Modelling and Mapping Data - Custom Test Doubles
Validator Component - Error Handling - Forwarding Data


PLUS MUCH MORE!!

HOW DOES THAT SOUND SO FAR?..

..HERE'S WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS COURSE

The project that we’ll work on in Symfony 7 Microservice is one component in an event-driven system. It receives webhooks which it is subscribed to and modifies and formats the data contained within before forwarding it to a customer data marketing platform.

This simple-sounding process will actually cover a lot of interesting and useful techniques as well as introducing you to many of Symfony’s features and components. 

As well as showing you the stuff that a Symfony developer should be expected to know, you’ll also see a few pro techniques which you’ll rarely see covered in tutorial-land. That’s because the project is based entirely on something which I have built and deployed in the real world.

If you’ve done any of my other courses, you’ll know by now that I’m not just here to show you how to achieve a certain outcome. I want you to know why we choose certain tools and strategies over others. We’re not just interested in the how….we’re inspired to learn the what, where, why, and when also.

Regardless of your level of experience, by the time you finish this course you’ll have learnt a LOT and you’ll have had your mind opened to new and unique ways of solving complex problems.

This is my first Symfony course on garyclarke.tech and it will be my pleasure to help you on your journey.

Healthcheck Endpoints

Healthcheck endpoints are specific URLs or endpoints exposed by each microservice to provide information about the service’s status

Application Architecture

Let's have a look at the application architecture and the steps we shall take to arrive at a point where we can dispatch the correct data.

Newsletter Webhook DTO

Let's now take the raw payload and deserialize into a NewsletterWebhook DTO.

Mapping Webhooks to Models

Let's create a dedicated class which will receive a source object i.e. the webhook DTO and map its data to a target object; the model.

Binding Test Doubles

Now let's look at the mechanics of how the container will swap a real HTTP client for the fake when we run our application tests...it's all in the config 😉

Validation Failure Application Test

We can check validation failure by passing data which we expect to fail validation, check that an error is produced and that it contains the correct message, check that execution is stopped and a 400 response returned to the webhook publisher.

Who am I?

Hello and thank you so much for checking out my work. My name is Gary Clarke and I'm a software developer with many years experience, primarily in PHP. I started creating video tutorials during lockdown in 2020 because I wanted the challenge of being able to explain complex / technical subjects to others in a way which is easy to understand and remember.

At this moment in time, my videos have been watched over a million times and I intend to keep creating new and improved content and teaching more and more new people. It would be my pleasure to see you on the inside of one of my courses.
