Building web applications is easier than ever these days - or is it? A growing number of technologies are involved in creating even a simple web application. The choices can be overwhelming, and that’s before considering popular methodologies like Test-Driven Development (TDD), Continuous Integration, and Cloud Computing.

This book introduces you to Silex 2, a PHP-based microframework. You will be taken on a fabulous journey of amazing wonderment, guiding you through the creation of an image gallery application.

Silex-related topics will be covered, such as Controller Routing, Dependency Injection, Lazy Loading, Service Providers, and Middleware.

Supporting libraries and technologies will be introduced one chapter at a time. Here and there, we will backtrack and refactor code to make it cleaner and more maintainable.

Unit and Functional Testing will be used to help create a solid and reliable test suite, which will verify that refactoring hasn’t unintentionally broken the site or caused features to stop working as expected.

By exploring these technologies one-by-one, you’ll learn how to combine them into a complete web application. This will give you valuable insight when it comes time to research and apply the up-and-coming web technologies of tomorrow.
