Symfony
The Symfony Framework is well-known for being really flexible and is used to build micro-sites, enterprise applications that handle billions of connections and even as the basis for other frameworks. Since its release in July 2011, the community has learned a lot about what's possible and how to do things best. These community resources - like blog posts or presentations - have created an unofficial set of recommendations for developing Symfony applications. Unfortunately, a lot of these recommendations are unneeded for web applications. Much of the time, they unnecessarily overcomplicate things and don't follow the original pragmatic philosophy of Symfony. This guide aims to fix that by describing the best practices for developing web apps with the Symfony full-stack Framework. These are best practices that fit the philosophy of the framework as envisioned by its original creator Fabien Potencier. Any Symfony developer, whether you are an expert or a newcomer, can read this g ...

The Real-Time APIs
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are seemingly everywhere. Thanks to the popularity of web-based products, cloud-based X-as-a-service offerings, and IoT, it is becoming increasingly important for engineers to understand all aspects of APIs, from design, to building, to operation. Research shows that there is increasing demand for near real-time APIs, in which speed and flexibility of response is vitally important. This emag explores this emerging trend in more detail. We hope you enjoy this collection of articles focused on real-time APIs. ...
