Lernen symfony 1.4 wird gut sein, wenn symfony 2.0 verwenden?

Question

Ich weiß, dass die Architektur in symfony 2.0 anders ist, aber im 1.4 jetzt lernen.

Ich frage mich, ob dieses Wissen i etwa 1,4 gewinnen 2,0 in gewissem Umfang nutzbar sein oder wird es eine totale Zeitverschwendung sein?

Answer 1

I highly doubt they will change everything in the 2.0 version. However, some concepts might widely vary, appear or disappear.

There is no simple answer to that question: If you have plenty of time to learn the 1.4 and nothing else to do, just go. It might be useful in the future to:

• Learn the 2.0 faster
• Do some maintenance of a 1.4 project in some hypothetical (other) job
• See what they changed from the previous version, understand why and remember that: they probably changed things for a good reason.

Imho, learning something is always a good thing. (Yeah, even learning COBOL !) Wether the "thing" itself is "good" is another question though ;)

Answer 2

I was reading through posts about Symfony 2.0 and I think that @ereOn's idea about learning 1.4 to see the changes in 2.0 is a very good one: you can learn a lot.

I don't have time to, but I will probably try at some point before 2011, just to be able to make a comparison when 2.0 gets out.

This being said, i think Symfony 2.0 is shaping up to be a great project, that will change the way we think about PHP.
