My copy of the Definitive Guide to Symfony arrived through the post on Friday. It’s published under the GNU Free Documentation Licence and went online last week so I’d already scanned through the content but I got a chance to have a proper read through over the weekend.
There’s usually something slightly disappointing about PHP manuals – I find they either go into too much or not enough detail, or do things differently to how I would but I’ve not found that to be the case with symfony. The book is well structured with chapters covering everything from installation to extending the core classes and optimisation. I was very impressed with the sample chapter they released as a PDF and the rest is of a similar high standard.
There’s not much point in me going through everything that’s in the book – it’s free online for everyone to read – but I would recommend getting a paper copy anyway as it’s very well put together. Buy online from Amazon.com and support the symfony project or buy from Amazon.co.uk and the commission cheque will go to Ormskirk Scouts
