KnpU has just published a new (and free) screencast series about Symfony 3 (http://knpuniversity.com/screencast/symfony). I propose to link to it from two book chapters: installation and "create your first page".

These chapters are critical for us because they are the starting point for most Symfony newcomers. We must do as much as we can do to "engage" them and lots of developers love video tutorials.

Installing and Configuring Symfony
==================================

The goal of this chapter is to get you up and running with a working application
built on top of Symfony. In order to simplify the process of creating new
applications, Symfony provides an installer application.
Welcome to Symfony! Starting a new Symfony project is easy. In fact, you'll have
your first working Symfony application up and running in just a few short minutes.
