Briefly about symfony

The Symfony framework simplifies web application development thanks to the automation of most parts used for certain purposes. The framework also structures the code stimulating developers to write a better, more comprehensible and easily supported code. Finally, Symfony makes the whole process of development easy, as it turns complex operations into simple commands.

Symfony is a full scale framework which ensures the optimal web application development using some key features. Firstly, it divides the application into business logic, functional and presentation. It contains numerous tools and classes aimed at reducing the time needed for the development of complex applications. Moreover, it allows automating frequent tasks so that the developer can focus on the peculiar nature of the application. All these advantages mean that there is no necessity to invent the bicycle each time while developing a web application.

Symfony is written on PHP 5. It has been carefully tested in various real projects and at present is used at the sites of some very demanding online companies. It is compatible with most data-base management systems including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. It works on the Unix/Linux and Windows platforms.
