Creating a blog in Symfony2

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a full featured blogging website using Symfony2. The Standard Distribution of the Symfony2 framework will be used, which includes the main components you will need when building your own websites. The tutorial is split into a number of parts, each part covering different aspects of Symfony2 and its components. This tutorial is aimed to be worked through similar to the symfony 1 Jobeet tutorial.

Symfony2 is highly customisable and provides a number of different ways to perform the same task. Some examples of this include writing configuration options in YAML, XML, PHP, or Annotation, and creating templates using Twig or PHP. To keep this tutorial simple we will use YAML and Annotations for configuration and Twig for templating. The Symfony book provides a great resource for examples of how to use the other methods. If other people would like to contribute to the completion of alternative methods simply fork the repository on Github and send over the pull requests :)
