Overview

This Symfony framework exploration project, carried out as part of the OpenClassrooms course "Build a website using the Symfony framework", allowed me to develop a virtual library web application. The project introduced me to Symfony project structure, essential framework components, database management with Doctrine, form creation, and implementing secure authentication.

Key Features

•Initial Project Setup — Setting up the Symfony environment and configuring the application.
•Symfony Architecture — Understanding and organizing directories (Controller, Entity, Template, etc.).
•Essential Symfony Components — Using routes, controllers, views, and entities to build the application.
•Database with Doctrine — Creating, managing, and interacting with the database via Doctrine ORM.
