In Symfony 2 it is natural to use annotations: routers, templates, security or object converters but - like in each part of this framework – users can define their own annotations. And it may become a really powerful tool if only a programmer is able to comprehend the idea of cutting code with help of annotations. Excluding most recurrent parts of code out of the methods keeps the most important business logic better separated.

The presentation is a summary of framework’s possibilities to maintain code clear and more readable by using annotations. At the beginning the listeners will be briefed on pre-built and predefined annotations in Symfony 2, then introduced to the process of creating own annotations and finally some examples of annotations usage will be presented.
