Symfony-Zone

Today i got my author copies of my Symfony book. It is the first time I see it printed and I’m really happy with it. Thanks to all people of the entwickler.press publishing house!

I got the first feedback of readers and so far they are positive Thats good cause i was pretty nervous to here what all the reader will think about the book. After over a year of writing you get pretty unsure if the content will fit everybody.

Yesterday the new version 1.1 of symfony was released and so the book (that covers 1.1) and the new version were available nearly at the same day. Thats timing

Sad news for all Symfony developers: François Zaninotto is leaving the symfony core team, cause of different opinions about the philosophie of writing code that cames with the new version 1.1. François was the documentation lead and active contributor of plugins of the symfony project. His work is one of the main reasons that I started developing with the Symfony-Framework: The great documentation and tutorials.

Hopefully François will not stop to work on the plugins he wrote, cause there are a lot of them that are used by many developers in different projects.

The reason why he leaves

i have just done another two-day Symfony-Training in Dresden (Germany). As always everyone was pretty impressed how mighty Symfony is and how much time can be saved using a framework like symfony compared to regular PHP-development. In the training we used the beta of the version 1.1 with great success.

If you are interessted in a inhouse symfony training in europe don’t hesitate to contact me (timo.haberkern@shift-up.de) or take a look at my(german) website for a more detailed description of the trainings (PHP and ExtJS too): Training-Website

Using Windows and Eclipse is sometimes a pain if you develop symfony applications. Switching from Eclipse to console and back for simple tasks like clearing cache, adding new modules and so on.

I used Server2Go as a CD-ROM Webserver that servers the application for browsing and searching on the CD-ROM.As you know my favorite Webframework is Symfony (www.symfony-project.com) so i developed this piece of software with the most current stable symfony version (1.0.9).

There are only some things that needs your attention if you want to make a symfony application runnable from CD-ROM:
