"Getting to the bit where I can type some code" is probably the biggest barrier to entry in actually getting started for a beginner.
I know that's how I felt when I started with Symfony 2.
If only there were some easy way to spin up a server... properly.
Well...
Now you can spin up a working Symfony 2 site, running on nginx server, with a pre-configured MySQL database already plugged in and ready to start.
Installation is done with just one command - vagrant up
.
Ok, you may need to install three pieces of software - but it's honestly pretty much just next > next > next.
Then, just fire up your IDE or editor of choice, and away you go.
I've put together a set of what I believe to be the most requested builds:
- Symfony 2 web site with demo project
- Symfony 2 web site, but ready for your existing project
- Symfony 2 RESTful API starter / reference project
From these three points, your development with Symfony 2 can begin.
