With already two courses checked off, you are primed and ready to put Symfony to work! And that's what this course is all about: making things more interesting by talking to the database with Doctrine.

Doctrine has a reputation for being tough to learn, and that's unfortunate, because it's an amazing tool. In this tutorial, we'll get you rolling with Doctrine: learn how to use it, how to get hard work done easily and how to avoid the common pitfalls that can make Doctrine hard:

  • Creating entity classes
  • Managing migrations
  • Saving new data
  • Querying for data
  • Custom repositories
  • Custom queries and the query builder
  • Fixtures (Dummy data) using Faker

... and (like always) a lot more goodies are mixed in.
