I agree completely, link the API pages to the jobeet tutorial. And I agree, there should be more level of tutorials. For instance: (Until noted, just plain text in HTML, no fancy looks:) (All of these sand boxed) The Hello world one Without a template. The Hello wolrd one WITH a template.

I think we're saying the same thing. You use the right tool for the job. You use WordPress for a blog. You use Joomla for medium sized business that needs to quickly give its staff some way to control the content of a site. You use Rails or Symfony if you're building a web app. On Sep 19,

Symfony has the best documentation which I have ever seen. Jobeet tutorial is very long but in this tutorial is almost everything - all important things. For me the worst thing in Symfony are plugins. Many good plugins are old - for example shopping cart:

Daniel, your post could serve as a very basic explanation of Symfony to newcomers? Do you think you could re-write this and fix some of the grammar? Post it on a blog somewhere and I'll link to it, and maybe others, and maybe some of the bigger Symfony blogs, like Symfony Nerds, will link to it.

You say that symfony became too complicated, which implies it was not before. Can you give us some examples of what became more complicated? That will help us improve the framework. For instance, we have less and less configuration files. Since 1.0, we removed a lot of them, and removed some
