Book Description

This book is based on the Jobeet tutorial. This free ebook contains 24 tutorials of 1 hour each, that’s all it takes to build up a complete and effective application from scratch. Definitely the best way to become a good symfony developer!.

The symfony framework has been an Open-Source project for more than three years and has become one of the most popular PHP frameworks thanks to its great features and great documentation. And this grand tradition started early on.
In December 2005, just after the first official release of symfony, we published the “Askeet tutorial1”, a set of 24 tutorials, published day-by-day between December 1st and Christmas. This tutorial has proven to be an invaluable tool to promote the framework to newcomers. A lot of developers learned symfony thanks to askeet, and many companies still use askeet as their main training material.
But the askeet tutorial started to show its age and with the release of symfony 1.2, we decided to publish yet another advent calendar, Jobeet. This tutorial has been published day-by-day on the symfony blog in 2008, and you are reading
its book incarnation.
