Join us for a discussion about the symfony framework with Dustin Whittle of Yahoo!. There will be a high level overview of the symfony framework with a demonstration on how to get a project started followed by Q&A.

The format is informal, so you are encouraged to bring your laptops and code your first symfony project.

The in-depth discussions and Q&A will be sure to fill your mind with all you'd need to know to get your new web application started with symfony.

Map to CNET Networks, Inc.
When you arrive, please look for the PHP Meetup sign pointing you to the conference room. Look forward to seeing you there!

It was a great session. I really liked the presentation and the level of details. It was useful and interesting especially for people who still search for the right tools and try to pick up the best frameworks and software for their needs.

Excited to meet the group. I will be there to represent Playlist.com which is a social music site (profitable & growing), and we love PHP and MySQL. Big time.

The leading framework for PHP, at the moment, is probably Symfony, and no one knows it's in's and out's like Dustin.

  “ The presentation was long, but very comprehensive, and I learned a lot! ”
- Aleksandar Gargenta
  
  “ This meetup offered a great way to learn about Symfony! Dustin did a great job overall, but I found the presentation to be a bit too detailed (thus a bit too long) for an evening session like this one. A shorter presentation would've allowed for more Q&A. Otherwise, a great meetup! ”
- David Cloutman
  
  “ Excellent speaker who really knew his topic. My only complaint is it ran a little late. ”
- Stefan
  
  “ Very interesting and in-depth presentation, although a bit long in the end. ”
- Micah
  
  “ It went a little long, but overall was really good information and a lot more helpful than just reading about symfony around the web. Dustin was really knowledgeable and I'd be happy to hear him speak again. ”
- Matt Siegel
  
  “ Dustin gave a highly-detailed presentation which, although long, provided an excellent practical introduction to the capabilites and use of the Symfony framework. Symfony looks like a solid alternative to Ruby on Rails for those of use who use PHP. Meeting facilities and operations were in good order. Friendly staff and a serious audience. ”
