We start our project by installing the IDE, an acronym for Integrated Development Environment. If you have been developing up to this point using some text editor, then maybe you should consider making the switch to PHP Storm.
You will learn how to create routes that accept parameters so that one controller is able to handle requests coming from more than just one fixed URL. This solves the problem of having to create a new controller for each new route.
We will explore twig templates, learn how to pass data from the controller to the template, loop over an associative array inside twig, and much more.
In this lecture, you will learn how to use the Bootstrap CSS framework within Symfony.
We will add Font Awesome via the local install kit and some images to our landing page.
