 Symfony2 for symfony 1 users
 ============================
 
+
+Create a new project
+--------------------
+
+In a symfony 1 environment, to create a new project, you use the global "symfony" executable, or the one contained in the data/bin folder of the symfony1 source:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    svn checkout http://svn.symfony-project.com/branches/1.4/ symfony1
+    mkdir mynewproject
+    cd mynewproject
+    php ../symfony1/data/bin/symfony generate:project mynewproject
+
+In Symfony2, to create a new project you need to install the symfony bootstrapper first:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    git clone git://github.com/symfony/symfony-bootstrapper.git
+    cd symfony-bootstraper/src
+    sh ../bin/install_vendors.sh
+    cd ../../
+
+And then use it to create your project. Note that the default format for configuration files is now ```xml```, so if you want to keep the ```yml``` format to which you are used to in symfony 1, you need to specifiy it:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    mkdir mynewproject
+    cd mynewproject
+    php ../symfony-bootstrapper/symfony.phar init --format=yml --name=mynewproject
+
+Finally you now have multiple external libraries to include in your project. To avoid downloading them for every new project, you can use a symbolic link:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    ln -s ../../symfony-bootstrapper/src/vendor src/vendor
+
+
+
+Use the console
+---------------
+
+In symfony 1, the console is directly in the base directory and is called ```symfony```:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    php symfony
+
+In Symfony2, the console is now in the app sub-directory and is called ```console```:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    php app/console

+Bundles
+-------
+
+In a symfony 1 project, you usually have multiple modules inside your application. A module is a coherent set of controllers and templates.
+
+In a Symfony2 project, you replace the concept of modules with Bundles.
+
+
+Plugins
+-------
+
+In a symfony 1 project, you usually download a lot of useful plugins to reuse the many functionalities developed by the community.
+
+In a Symfony2 project, you download Bundles. There are not many differences between the "module" Bundles and the "plugin" Bundles, except that a "plugin" Bundle usually contains multiple "module" Bundles using the "category namespace".
