i already know mvc + oop and have used CodeIgniter before to code.

are we talking about days, weeks or months giving that i will dedicate 8-12 hours a day to learn it.

Answer 1

If you already know MVC and OOP, it shouldn't be too hard.

I would say that :

• In a couple of days, you should be able to do simple stuff
• In a couple of weeks, you should become a good symfony developper
• And, in a couple of months (after you finished your first project, maybe), you could become an "expert", who really knows how to use symfony's power.

But note that this is probably not specific to symfony : I would say the same for other Frameworks, such as Zend Framework, for example.

Answer 2

Days, since you already know MVC, OOP and CodeIgniter.

But wasting any more time in SO will not help ;)

Answer 3

About Twenty Four Hours.
