As announced in this new post to the Symfony blog today, "The Definitive Guide to Symfony" book from APress has officially been published. Along with that release comes another - the 1.0 RC1 release of the framework itself.

We are very proud to announce the official release of The Definitive Guide to Symfony, a book that myself and Fabien spent the last months writing. The 490 pages of this book explain all you need to know from starting up symfony to managing a symfony application, with a lot of practical examples and expert tips. It is available in bookstores right now.

The book is released under the GFDL license (it's a free download) and can be purchased at most book retailers.
