Don't reinvent the wheel with Symfony components!

Paradoxically, Symfony2 is not only a full-stack framework. Its underlaying architecture relies on standalone, decoupled and cohesive components. This session will focus on the use of the most interesting components fo Symfony like the Dependency Injection Container, Event Dispatcher, Console, HttpFoundation, HttpKernel, Routing, Browser Kit, Css Selector& Dom Crawler, and much more...
