The symfony web application framework is a great framework to work with, as most symfony-experienced developers will tell you. It is very reliable and flexible, and allows for fast and structured development, yet those who haven't quite looked at the framework but only know the basics will often tell you symfony is very slow, extremely coupled, and overengineered. So who is telling the truth?

This talk will attempt to bust some myphps (pronounce: 'myths') around the symfony framework. Stefan will go into the most common prejudices against symfony, and show you that symfony is actually a bit different than what those people might think.
