Audience

PHP developers and architects who want to ease their database development and increase their skills in persistence and ORM using frameworks such as Doctrine 2.

Prerequisites

Having knowledge of PHP development. Basic knowledge of databases is required.

Objectives

Learn how to use Doctrine 2 as the persistence layer for PHP applications.

Methods

Classroom training with hands-on exercises.

Description

One of the most important concerns in any applications, is persistence. While the domain may be different, each application has data to be created, updated, retrieved and deleted. The importance of persistence is even more pronounced the more time is spent in developing the data layer of the application.

Doctrine 2 has become the most popular persistence system for PHP. It can be used as standalone, but also integrates well with Symfony2 and other popular frameworks. Doctrine is an ORM, an Object Relational Mapper. This technique enables developers to map their domain objects and attributes to relational database tables and columns. This lets them focus on the essentials, the domain, instead of queries and databases. During this course, you will learn how to use Doctrine to power your web applications and ease your database development.

This course will help you started with Doctrine and will give you an overview of its many features. The course begins by delving into the Doctrine mechanisms of entities and mapping, associations and inheritance. You will see how to create queries with DQL and the Query Builder. You will also learn how use the Doctrine DBAL to increase performance and execute native queries. The course follows up with a short introduction to PDO. To make it easier to deploy changes to your database schema, the course will conclude with an introduction to Doctrine Migrations. At the end of the course, you will be fluent in the use of Doctrine.

Instructor-led exercises will give you hands-on experience in using the Doctrine principles, so you can apply what you learned in your daily development.
