Zend Framework University

Rob Allen has updated his famous Zend Framework tutorial to cover changes made in last week release of ZF 1.10.

As a result, I have updated my Zend Framework tutorial so that it is completely current. The main change I made was to remove the _init methods in the Bootstrap as they are no longer needed. I also take advantage of the new features of the zf tool to enable layouts and create forms. It’s a shame that it gets the class name of the form wrong though!

It’s worth mentioning that Rob is writing and constantly updating his tutorial since Zend Framework 1.0 release, and it’s probably most popular ZF tutorial on the web.

Recently we have published a note about great book for people interested in learning Zend Framework, Surviving The Deep End. Today we have similar, but much, much shorter publication for you. A simple Blog using Zend framework 1.9 is an article about building simple blog application from a scratch using Zend Framework.

The tutorial covers everything about building simple application based on Zend Framework, from using Zend_Tool to scaffold the project, through configuration, bootstrapping, up to creating models, forms and adding code to generated classes. Final application is regular blog, where uses can log in and depending on access level comment and publish new posts.

This is very interesting reading for all developers new to Zend Framework. If you want to see how things work in Zend Framework, or you want to show it to someone, for instance co-worker, this article is for you.
