I read the Symfony code book to learn Symfony 3 and to better understand the different development concepts in the recent Drupal 8 release compared to Drupal 7. Now Drupal 8 heavily utilizes Symfony's concept of structuring the code into configuration files, PHP code and Twig template files. But Symfony is a Web framework by itself, designed to provide basic functionality for building MVC applications, including templating, user management, security and database connection via the object-relational mapping framework Doctrine.
This book is not very long but covers all areas. It is sufficient to get started on writing a simple application like a blog, though this already can be achieved with out-of-the-box solutions. It avoids going into much detail and mainly provides only individual code snippets, not full-featured examples. The latter is provided by the Symfony Cookbook. From my experience, as soon as you want to actually program something more advanced you are forced to look up Cookbook or google Stackoverflow. It really gives you are raw overview of how the framework is built. Though it guides you to coding quite quickly, it will not serve as a in-depth reference or a definitive guide.

Ottimo manuale. Stupefacente che sia disponibile gratuitamente sul sito.
Presenta una chiara e veloce introduzione al framework, che permette di essere operativi (almeno per piccole applicazioni) in meno di 2 giorni.
Naturalmente non può approfondire tutto in 200 pagine, ma dà un'idea molto chiara sulla struttura delle applicazioni e su cosa e dove approfondire per "salire di livello".
Forse l'unica pecca è che si concentra troppo sui formati YAML e TWIG trascurando come fare le stesse cose in PHP (e, ma meno importante, XML).

No está bien. Es un recetario pero no te enseña Symfony, ya debes saber para que este libro te sea útil
