We're going to take a look at the bundles you need to know when you're a Symfony developer. The idea here is to bring together the bundles I see and use most often in my projects. Here, we won't really be talking about bundles that are part of the Symfony "core", such as the "DoctrineMigrationbundle", which you'll find everywhere. Are you read...

Hello there, This week we're going to be talking about image formats. In fact, this article follows on from my article on CSS, and we're going to be talking about optimizing sits, in this case images. First of all, we'll review the older image formats, find out how to optimize them and finally talk about WEBP. We'll even see how it's possible to have a site or application that uses this format automatically, as is the case on the site you're currently visiting. Other image formats We'...

Imagine you have an e-commerce site and you want to test that a product is actually added to...

So let's talk about the most crucial point when you're at the idea stage and about to design your incredible mega-start-up project: the database.
