Two years after the publishing of "The Definitive Guide to symfony" book, I am happy to announce that the Jobeet tutorial is now available as a printed book: "Practical symfony".
During the last two weeks, I have updated and enhanced the Jobeet tutorial based on the feedback from the community. I have also updated the screenshots to reflect the new Jobeet design. The "Practical symfony" book is the printed version of this tutorial and as such covers the symfony 1.2 version.
The book is available in two editions: Propel and Doctrine. You can already buy the Propel version. Jon is working on the Doctrine version and the book will be available very soon.
The book content is the same as the one available on the website. The only differences are the table of contents and the day 24 cross-references, where all links have been converted to page references.
If you want to read the Jobeet tutorial comfortably in the train or in your bed, or if you simply want to support the symfony project documentation effort, you can buy the book on lulu.com.
Help the Symfony project!
As with any Open-Source project, contributing code or documentation is the most common way to help, but we also have a wide range of sponsoring opportunities.

I hope Jon will manage to work more Doctrine specific tips and best practices into the tutorial before releasing this book. When reading the Doctrine version online, I was a little bit disappointed by the fact that it looked like only every occurence of "Propel" had been replaced by "Doctrine".
It requires quite some knowledge to get Doctrine models done nicely and beautiful, and I would wish that the Doctrine version of the Jobeet tutorial would focus more on exactly these best practices that are absolutely essential for any beginner.
we all need to stare at this thing the whole day.. so this one is first choice! thank you! bought it! :)
A défaut le script qui génère le pdf (il doit s'agir d'un script puisqu'il est mentionné que l'impression sera la dernière version) pourra-t-il être fourni pour imprimer la future version francaise.
De même Fabien, tu nous avais promis un PDF : http://groups.google.com/group/symfony-users/msg/99388162b135d321
The comments about the lack of French language versions of symfony books seem fair enough. Although interestingly that other great PHP framework - Drupal - has Flemish origins but rapidly moved into an English-speaking and therefore global environment. I'm not aware of many Drupal books printed in Dutch.
I'm not so fluent in english, but I read the definitive guide pretty easily. Thank you for this tutorial Fabien, and this printed book is definitively a good idea. I'm waiting for the Doctrine version ! And the next one ? The definitive guide v1.2 ? Maybe every official documentation ? Ok ok, i'll wait. Is there any signed version ? Huhuhu sorry, I'm a fan-boy... ;)
But I will keep trying!
Hehe, the captcha is "rails fixed" *lol*
I know that the Jobeet tutorial is online, but I thought I'd express my gratitude to Fabien and Sensio in monetary terms. Thanks guys for all your hard work.
