Symfony 4: a CRUD tutorial, second edition

This tutorial follows another guide that I made, always about Symfony, but this time we’re talking about Symfony 4.

As the framework evolves into new releases there might be some changes in methods, classes and tools. They may become deprecated or obsolete and new tools may be added, although some kind of retrocompatibility may be assured.

The Symfony Php Framework

If you want to know more about that, you can visit Symfony’s roadmap and discover how it will evolve and how long the various versions will be maintained.

Full LAMP Docker and AWS Introduction Tutorial

During this short exercise you will learn how to create a simple LAMP example application and deploy it using Docker on the Amazon Web Services ECS platform, with the help of RDS for a MySQL database.

All the following example is based on the AWS CLI, though we could have done faster and easier using the web based console. Instead, having gained a skill with the terminal interface, allows us to better understand how each step and parameter is working. In addition we will be able to create our own automation scripts based on the CLI.

Coding and Software Engineering

The prerequites for this tutorial are the installation of the AWS CLI and the ECS CLI. If you haven’t them installed on your system, please refer to these links on how to do it: install the AWS CLI and the ECS CLI.

One minute Laravel and Docker Tutorial

In this short lesson we’re gonna focus on two topics we tackled some time ago in this mini series of tutorials: Laravel and Docker.

In the getting started section of the Laravel project’s documentation we can see that a vagrant box named Homestead is strongly adviced to begin with a quick and smooth developing experience.

Benedict.Cloud tutorial

Homestead is pre-packed with all the stuff necessary to begin the development of a Laravel application, but when it comes to deploying any application, Docker has many strong points that other virtual environments have not. In many cases it is a must: see this article of mine for further details.

Step by step Tutorial on a Rails CRUD web application

In the last two episodes we saw how to create a simple web application using either Symfony or Laravel. Let’s do the same with Ruby on Rails. In this tutorial we’re gonna combine also another competence we developed in this series of tutorials: Docker.

Fist step, install Docker following this quick guide on the official website: https://docs.docker.com/install. It might be useful (if not necessary) a post installation for Docker, follow these instructions and everthing will work out: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall.

The next thing, install Docker Compose for the purpose of completing correctly this tutorial, you will find why as you go along with this reading: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install.

The Ruby programming language

Now that you have all up and running, all you have to do is to create a Ruby on Rails stack on your computer. Let’s start by creating a Docker file, so create a directory named ‘rails_tutorial‘ and put the following content on a file called ‘Dockerfile‘ (without any extension):

Short Tutorial on Docker, PHP and MySQL

In this simple tutorial I’m gonna teach you some basic tricks about a skinny LAMP application containerized with Docker.

One of the main focuses of Docker is to solve a common problem in developing and deploying complex applications, which is known as “The Matrix from Hell”.

When designing an application stack which is more than trivial, you have to take care of the compatibility between different version of tools and languages and their dependecies, which have to coexist in the same machine.

The Docker virtual environment

With Docker, you solve this problem by instantiating different light-weight machines in a single host, without the need to create real virtual machines on the cloud and spending a lot more: a Docker container consumes a lot less resources.
