This document provides an overview of the symfony framework and outlines the agenda for a code4lib SIG Spring Forum session on symfony basics. The symfony framework allows for building applications simply or complexly using PHP5 and object-oriented programming. The session will provide a crash course on symfony by having attendees build a subject guides application, generating backend forms, adding validation and plugins, and creating a basic frontend. Attendees will learn how to get started quickly with symfony.
