learning symfony 1.4 will be good when using symfony 2.0?

I know that the architecture is different in symfony 2.0 but im learning 1.4 right now.

I wonder if this knowledge i gain about 1.4 will be usable for 2.0 in some extent or will it be a total waste of time?

Solution

  • 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 ;)
