Symfony is RAD - Rick Kuipers

Learn how to develop fast and efficiently using Symfony's RAD (Rapid Application Development) approach, exploring topics such as MVPs, code organization, and JavaScript simplification.

Key takeaways

1. Rapid Application Development Use Symfony to speed up the development process and focus on the core of your application.

2. Create a minimal viable product (MVP) Don’t worry too much about style or design; just make something that works.

4. Keep development simple Don’t get too complex; focus on what’s really important.

5. Make sure code is organized and understandable Comments and naming conventions are crucial to helping others understand your code.

6. Consider using TurboFrames and TurboStream These tools can help decompose large pages and improve the feel of your application.

7. Use stimulus to keep things simple Symphony has a built-in way to do stimulus, making it easier to deal with complex JavaScript logic.

8. Make sure database migration runs correctly Don’t forget to run migration on your database.

9. Rapidly build everything around the core of the application Focus on building something fast and functional, then add complexity.

10. Test your code Make sure to test everything thoroughly before moving forward.
