Summary
In this chapter, we have demonstrated how to use the Symfony2 installer, test the configuration, run the deployment server, and play around with the Symfony2 command line. We have also installed the composer and learned how to install a package using it.
While we haven't written much code in this chapter, information contained here will be used in all the other chapters. To demonstrate how Symfony2 enables you to make web applications faster, we will try to learn through examples that can be found in real life. To make this task easier, we will try to produce a real to-do web application with modern look and a few working features.
In the next chapter, we will review the default bundle structure, and set up the first routings, controllers, and templates. We will also create some initial database schema and models, and we will present migration and fixtures system.
