A Week of Symfony #612 (17-23 September 2018)

This week Symfony introduced SymfonyCasts, the best place to learn about Symfony, PHP and JavaScript. Meanwhile, the Validator component was decoupled from the Translator, and the lint commands were improved to support multiples files and directories. Lastly, the SymfonyLive London 2018 conference will take place next week.
