Which is the best book for learning Symfony?

Question

• Apress The Definitive Guide To Symfony
• Symfony Book
• Or Some Other Book.

Answer 1

'Practical symfony' is useful for learning Symfony. It gives you a good overview about the whole system and learns you usefull tricks. It's very good written and the book takes the time explaining stuff to you. Best of all: it's free! It can be downloaded on the official website: http://www.symfony-project.org/doc/1%5F2/

The Definitive Guide To Symfony is useful for daily tasks.

Answer 2

I don't work with symfony but they have "the definitive guide to symphony" online so you can freely read it:

http://www.symfony-project.org/book/1_2/

You can see whether or not you like it.

Answer 3

When I started out with Symfony I read the following three books in this order and it helped tremendously:

1. The Definitive Guide to symfony
2. Practical symfony - Jobeet Tutorial (Doctrine version)
3. symfony Forms in Action

All are freely available as HTML and PDFs. Enjoy!
