A *Front Controller* is a short PHP that lives in the web directory
of your project. Typically, *all* requests are handled by executing
the same front controller, whose job is to bootstrap the Symfony
application.
application.

Service
A *Service* is a generic term for any PHP object that performs a
specific task. In Symfony2, services are often configured and retrieved
from the service container. An application that has many decoupled
services is said to follow a `service-oriented architecture`_

Service Container
A *Service Container*, also known as a *Dependency Injection Container*,
is a special object that manages the instantiation of services inside
an application. Instead of creating services directly, the developer
*trains* the service container (via configuration) on how to create
the services. The service container takes care of lazily instantiating
and injecting dependent services.

I think we need to keep the "Dependency Injection" title as we should first explain what DI is before what a DIC is.
