Symfony is living its best moment ever and this week is a good proof of it. The week started with the launch of the stable version of symfony 1.2. Simultaneously, symfony unveiled Jobeet, a comprehensive tutorial describing how to create a complete application with symfony 1.2. A new one-hour tutorial will be published daily from December 1st until December 24th.

Meanwhile, symfony published a complete book about using Doctrine with symfony framework. Lastly, blogosphere response to symfony 1.2 launch and Jobeet tutorial has been awesome, with hundreds of posts published all around the world.
