At Rana Negra we like to create, we like to customize our clients’ projects, and for this, the Symfony framework is of great help. We currently use Symfony 2 and Symfony 3 in all projects that require it, but we have experience in Symfony 1.

With Symfony and PHP 5 we create all kinds of fast, secure and professional web applications.

Symfony has a free software license and for its developers it is so important that it be a secure development tool that before launching it they commissioned a security audit from an external and independent company.

At Rana Negra we like to provide a comprehensive service to our clients, both in web development and in digital marketing, and undoubtedly Symfony is a full-stack framework , that is, useful both to create the frontend of web applications and the backend , as for the rest of the processes involved in the creation of a web page.

Among its many advantages, beyond its speed and security, is that it is compatible with the main database managers , in Rana Negra for example we mostly use MySQL , but we can also use others.

We like Symfony   for its speed, and its lower memory consumption, it is three times faster than Zend framework, for example. We also love it because it totally fits with our way of working, providing unlimited flexibility, allowing us to develop complex applications and develop them according to the specific functions required.

And we can also use the Symfony framework only for a specific functionality.

In addition, Symfony is based on the MVC (Model View Controller ), a way to build applications dividing the three main parts of which they are composed: data model, frontend and business logic. This improves the maintenance of the application or software.

With symfony based on the MVC it is avoided to mix the accesses to the databases with the code that implements the logic of the applications .

The model manager is another old acquaintance of Black Frog, Doctrine , a very complete and configurable library for PHP, which saves a lot of web programming time .

Thanks to our experience in Symfony , our clients are highly satisfied with their web applications , facilitating data management, such as managing clients from the control panel or managing orders in the case of online stores or ecommerce , etc.

Great web applications like Yahoo! Answers , BlaBlaCar , Spotify or Dailymotion are developed with the Symfony framework .

In short, we like to program with Symfony because it has everything we need to create serious, professional, fast and large-scale web developments, as well as smaller web projects. WHY DO WE USE THE SYMFONY FRAMEWORK IN RANA NEGRA?
