Talk: Bolt 4 - A modern CMS for the Future

Bolt is a CMS that strives to make managing your content as pleasant and straightforward as possible. Bolt aims to do this for editors, implementors and developers alike. The upcoming version 4 is built on Symfony 4, API platform and Doctrine, so it will have modern features to build both decoupled and “traditional” sites. In this talk, Bob will focus mostly on the developers who need a better solution to deliver a CMS to their clients. After a brief introduction on the history of Bolt (mainly the move from Silex to Symfony 4), Bob will show you how to get up and running with Bolt, and showcase some of the features to help you efficiently build websites and how to configure, extend and adapt the system using the Symfony skills you already have.
