Extending PlatformUI with new navigation

Introduction

This tutorial aims at providing a step-by-step guide on how to extend the JavaScript application provided by the PlatformUI bundle. 

In this tutorial, we will create a new part of the application allowing to browse your content by Content Type instead of using the tree structure. To fully benefit from this document, you need to:

• be comfortable with eZ Platform's content model (Content, Location, Content Type, etc.)
• have basic to intermediate level in HTML5/CSS/JavaScript
• have a basic knowledge of Symfony's concepts (Bundle, Controller and routing)
• have read the PlatformUI technical introduction

This tutorial is divided into 9 steps. The complete code base is available on Github in the ExtendingPlatformUIConferenceBundle repository which also provides a tag for each step. The expected end result can be seen in this screencast:
