[support] Drupal 8 and Symfony 2

[Metzler, David]

The short answer is that drupal 8 will start a long process of adopting portions of the symphony framework.  In the first iteration, the primary shift has to do with the class loader and event routing, which means that drupal's  menu/routing functions will be replaced with Symfony 2 components.  There are still many pieces of  drupal that may or may or may not be ported to the symfony framework.  That being said, solid full featured drupal 8 installations are likely to be a year off or more still, so much of the answer to your question will depend on when you expect to deliver your production sites.

There is a lot of value provided by non-symfony drupal framework components, so I'd encourage you to not limit your preparation to learning symfony, but rather consider learning drupal apis and start there.

Dave

Hi all,
I am eagerly waiting for drupal 8. I love using drupal but since last few months I got desire to learn some web framework like zend, django etc. because i think framework will give me more control than CMS.

upcoming drupal 8  is coming with symfony web framework or I guess drupal 8 is rewritten on top of symfony. please correct me what exactly drupal 8 have got relationship with symfony.

should I start learning sysfony to make best use of upcoming drupal 8. or if I already know symfony then how will I use symfony skills in drupal 8?
