They look different, but Drupal 8 and Symfony share the fundamental pieces that drive how a request becomes a response. But what does this mean? What do these piece do. Why should I care?

In this talk, we'll dive into HttpKernel, EventDispatcher and HttpFoundation: the most important components of the Drupal and Symfony. To get to know them, we'll compare the bootstrap process of both, see how each is the same, where they're different and why. And then, we'll use this to do some hacking!

By the end, you'll understand the machine that drives the Drupal request and how to approach hooking into it in advanced ways. And because these components are also used by other technologies (e.g. Silex, Laravel), you'll know quite a bit about them too.
