Hey Neal!
Yes, we have a lot of threads going :). I promise we'll be looking more into this series to make sure it's complete. And thanks for the nice words - I want people to be able to go from zero to hero all in one place. The specifics for ep4 aren't planned yet - but I just added your suggestions to our planning document.
Thanks!

Hey Wahyu,
Are you logged in to your account? If so, please, look at the list of chapters - there should be a "tick" icon on every chapter title in the list. Find those that do not have ticks and watch the video til the end. If you still have this problem - please, write to us via our contact form: https://symfonycasts.com/co... and we will look at your account and give you some tips what else you have to do to finish the course 100%.
Cheers!
Is there going to be a 4 episode for the PHP series that covers inserting, updating and deleting data? Your tutorials are the best I have found on the web but several seem to be stuck in limbo with lots of unfinished sections. I would challenge you to look at all the available tutorials and finish them before throwing out more Symfony 3 stuff. Probably could be accomplished in a months time. Looking forward to a productive new year learning with KnpUniversity.
