Loïc Faugeron has posted another in his series of "Ultimate Developer Guides" for a component of the Symfony framework. In the latest part of the series, he looks at the Skeleton component.

In this guide we've explored the main standalone libraries (also known as "Components") provided by Symfony to help us build applications: HTTP Kernel and HTTP Foundation, Event Dispatcher, Routing and YAML, Dependency Injection and Console. We've also seen how HttpKernel enabled reusable code with Bundles.

In this article, we're going to have a closer look at how to organise our applications directory tree.

He shows how to create a new project with the "empty edition", a skeleton for creating a basic Symfony framework with some of the basic boilerplate already in place. He shows the resulting directory tree and creates a new AppBundle for his new development. Initially he put the bundle under the main directory so he then shows how to decouple this and move bundles and libraries out into a src/ directory outside of the main application directory in the skeleton.
