“Symfony 1.3 Web Application Development” is a new book from Packt for PHP web developers who want to get started with Symfony. It will help design, develop, and deploy feature-rich, high-performance PHP web applications. One would be able to create a real-life application from design to deployment and explore all the major aspects of the Symfony framework with this example driven tutorial. Towards the end of the book, users would have a good understanding of the development features of Symfony (for Propel as well as Doctrine editions), and be able to deploy a high-performance web site quite easily.
