To our developers:

What you should have already learned:

Don't be afraid of the complicated directory structures, I just learned and applied a PHP framework called Symfony to it. Also I want to deploy this web app on Heroku

In order to get your hands dirty, you should go through the basic trial of both frameworks:

• For Symfony:

  • After reading this you should have a simple idea of what does symfony do.
  • Then you should read through this tutorial and do it yourself by following the instructions, after which you should know how to install and use it to create an amazing website. (Note: you should read all Chapter 1 - Chapter 5 of the getting started tutorial)
  • Once you finish these simple readings, you will find this repository really really easy to understand.

• For Heroku:

  • Heroku is a company that can help us cheaply deploy a web app into the internet. Rather than purchasing a Virtual Machine to serve as a real server, we can directly upload our project source code and Heroku will run the codes in its "cloud". So we know our code is running in the cloud but we do not know which machine is running our code. As a result, we only need to focus on developing the logic and the contents, and all other things (such as network, firewall, maintaining the OS and VM) will be handled by Heroku.

  • After knowing what Heroku is, you should try this little tutorial to deploy a really simple php project on your free account. Trust me it's not hard and it will be interesting.

  • Heroku database addon: ClearDB

Have fun with the framework and the tool!

Next step:

• Registration How to Implement a Simple Registration Form

• Login How to Build a Login Form

• How to connect to Google Cloud

• Doctrine: a PHP tool to operate on databases

Also I will find out how do automatically deploy this app after each push to github. For now we can use our own accounts to deploy it.
