Rating:  - Excellent book
Symfony is one of the few well documented web application frameworks. Even so, the authors gave a great contribution to those willing to learn the basics as well as the complex aspects of Symfony in a clear, direct manner. Two thumbs up!
Rating: - It's a great framework and a great book
What separates symfony from the rest of the frameworks at the moment is the documentation. Every noteworthy feature and approach is documented in the book and the Askeet tutorial is great for real-life implementations. If you are serious about Symfony, get this book.
Rating: - Essential
The book title says everything. It's a valuable resource for whom develops in symfony or is just curious about it.
Rating: - A Must-have for Symfony users!
The power of this amazing framework is truly revealed after you see how much thought has gone into its planning and documentation. I have been using the Symfony framework for six months with great success, but this book has given me a new perspective on Symfony's capabilities. PHP has been a mainstay in my web design business for almost 10 years, and I've used a number of different libraries and frameworks over the years. But nothing I've tried has come close to Symfony. The framework takes out the drudgery of common tasks like form processing and database/object interactions; and it does it in a way that is highly configurable. This book and framework have made web programming fun again.
Each chapter walks you through an important framework element from installation and setup to advanced features (cache control, plugin development, optimizing applications). It's written by two of the framework's lead developers. I would consider it a must-have for anyone using the Symfony framework.
