There has been much talk recently of micro frameworks and using small libraries instead of monolithic frameworks. Symfony2's components fit well with this philosophy but this talk will look at what you gain by using the full stack Symfony2 framework along with its bundle system.

The standard distribution of the Symfony2 full stack framework is made up of the Symfony2 components, libraries such as Assetic and bundles. This talk will look at the added value of these bundles and how they integrate the components and libraries over and above what you get just using them together.

The talk will look at the advantages of third party bundles integrating other libraries into the framework over using the library alone. Using examples such as providing the boiler plate code for integration with libraries such as Twig, Doctrine and Propel. As well as how the learning curve is reduced by using a bundle that makes a new library available as a more familiar service.
