Well guys.. I was thinking of starting a blog for a long time.. And finally.. its here..
I thought what should my first post relate to.
Cuurently I am interning with a Company in Kanpur and learning new technologies.
One of the technology is Symfony..
Symfony is a well designed framework for PHP. There are many frameworks that exists in market for PHP.
But Symfony is a beauty. It is a beautiful blend of MVC architecture and Object Oriented Programming.
When I started learning Symfony … I started learning it the wrong way
Instead of understanding Symfony in depth.. I started building a project on it by the tutorial published by them.
Here is the link to the first project http://www.symfony-project.org/tutorial/1_2/my-first-project .
I was confused with things.
But I realised soon that things are not going the right way.
So… I started again. I started with reading the Symfony book.
Here is the link to it http://www.symfony-project.org/book/1_2/
I have not yet finished reading it.. But ya.. Now I got understanding of Symfony.
And now.. when I look at the project .. I get a clear understanding of how things are done.
So guys eager to learn Symfony..
1. Start reading the documentation http://www.symfony-project.org/doc/1_2/
2. Start Reading the book http://www.symfony-project.org/book/1_2/
3. Along with the book start with building first project http://www.symfony-project.org/tutorial/1_2/my-first-project .
4. Another Project (Using Doctrine) http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_2/Doctrine/en/
You are done now
So go ahead and check out lates version of Symfony at http://www.symfony-project.org/
Install it as a pear package.. And start enjoying the real meaning of MVCarchitecture.

Hey, I am too working on symfony for the last 10 months. It’s very much true that you can’t start developing a symfony app from the first day itself. You need to go through all the documentaion first.
Symfony is one of the best FW we have. The current version is way different from the first one. As new versions are released, we are blessed with really new features.
