Symfony is a famous free and Open Source PHP framework, which follows lots of development best practices. One of them is the Model View Controler, aka MVC, design pattern. Symfony has its native MVC implementation, which helps developers to decouple their code beyond three layers. The problem is that lots of PHP developers don't really know what the MVC pattern is and how to write good MVC code in symfony. In this article, I will try to show you how to write and refactor code in order to comply with the MVC pattern, and I will explain advantages of this way of programming.

Today, I'm happy to unveil my new personal website and dev blog, hosted on a brand new shared hosting server gracefully offered by Server Grove. It has been a long time I wish to write about symfony, php and programming. It's now possible after all the time I spent to develop my own weblog application with symfony 1.4.

Aujourd'hui, je suis ravi de dévoiler la nouvelle version de mon site et blog personnel. Cette nouvelle version est désormais hébergée sur un tout nouveau serveur mutualisé offert gracieusement par Server Grove. Cela faisait depuis longtemps que je souhaitais écrire à propos de symfony, php et de la programmation en général. C'est aujourd'hui chose faite après les nombreuses heures passées à développer ma propre application de blog avec symfony 1.4.
