About the Course

Most PHP developers learn by reading documentation and memorizing syntax before touching a line of real code. Prompting PHP and Symfony for Web Development flips that entirely. You build immediately, with AI as your tutor, pair programmer, and reviewer, following one execution-first loop from the very first chapter: prompt, run, verify, and iterate. Every chapter extends the same real application — a Feedback Inbox — so you never work on isolated exercises that disappear the moment you close the chapter. You build one complete, production-grade Symfony 8 application progressively, chapter by chapter, covering domain modelling with Doctrine ORM 3, REST APIs, access control, authentication, PHPUnit testing, security, and observability. The final chapter delivers something no competing PHP or Symfony book offers — a portable prompt playbook covering planning, implementation, review, testing, debugging, and deployment that you keep and reuse across every project you build after this one. By the end, you will ship production-ready Symfony applications with the discipline, confidence, and workflow of an experienced developer.
