[EZSC2015] D02L02 Track 2 - Start with Bolt and go eZ

More details: http://2015.ezsummercamp.com/Programme/Start-with-Bolt-and-go-eZ By Jani Tarvainen As you may know, Symfony Components are becoming a staple in the PHP community. Many projects use them and you can use your code and skill set across different tools better than ever before. Ease of use and low barrier are essential for Content Management tools to catch on popularity. eZ Platform is a feature-rich platform with a plethora of features and functions. As such, it does have a degree of complexity deterring some beginner users. Bolt, an elegant lightweight Content Management System built with Silex, a micro framework based on Symfony components, is dead simple to install, runs on a SQLite database by default, and has a lot of ready extensions. While Bolt is a great tool with solid technical foundation, in larger projects you'll eventually need more structure and some features such as multisite, multilanguage, and enterprise grade search. In this session we will start off with the brief Bolt and Silex introduction. We'll go through the basics of how it works and which components are shared between Bolt and eZ Platform. Prior understanding of the Symfony2 full stack framework is expected. After the introduction, we will go hands-on at how to integrate and upgrade in the realms of Bolt and eZ Platform. We'll explore the migration process, share template code, reverse proxy configurations, etc.
