Creating Symfony projects like a sir

I’m pretty sure many of you don’t like to download the latest version of Symfony Standard Distribution from symfony.com, install it, remove the AcmeDemoBundle from src directory and remove those stuff mentioning it every time you start a new project. I don’t like it either. Fortunately, I have a better way to do so.

Custom bulk actions in SonataAdminBundle

Just like Emacs is a great operating system lacking only a decent editor, so is SonataAdminBundle a great tool lacking only a decent documentation, which is understandable, as it’s constantly evolving (and let’s face it, nobody likes to write docs :). Well, at least when I first had to use it, it was. Now the bundle is pretty well-documented, but of course Rande and the contributors can’t think of everything your customers may want (and we all know they want pretty fucked up things sometimes). So there are loads of “Easter Eggs” in SonataAdminBundle – I call them Easter Eggs because they are not documented, but the code kinda supports them.

Creating an environment for Symfony2 – Part 1

Hello, guys, I know I promised I would write one more post last year, but I underestimated the time I had to spend for work. I’m sorry about that. So, here it is, I’m ready to share my experience with Symfony2 and git. Starting a Symfony2 project is pretty easy and straight-forward. However, if you are just planning to create your first Symfony2 project, you should definitely read the Symfony book.

Merry Xmas

Hello, guys, I wish you all merry Christmas! There will be one more tech post before the end of the year, stay tuned!

Switching to Arch – beginning of a new era

So, after using Ubuntu for 6 years, I got really tired of it. It is maybe the best GNU/Linux distribution for beginners, at least it maybe was a few years ago, but when you get in it deeper, at some point it won’t satisfy your needs. The same happened to me. I don’t know whether the new releases weren’t as good as they were back in the old days, or I was the one who changed, but I do know that I couldn’t learn that much from it in the last 1 or 2 years using it as I could when I switched from Windows XP to Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger).
