Zend Framework for Absolute Beginners? [closed]

Question

Can you recommend any book or other resources for learning Zend Framework for absolute beginngers with moderate PHP skills. Thanks.

Answer 1

I just started 4 days ago to use Zend Framework together with Doctrine ORM. To be honest it's very complicated to get started with it. I used the zend documentation, http://framework.zend.com/manual/de/ for example the quick start guide. There is an irc channel on freenode #[e-mail] In addition I googled a lot, there are some good answers here on stack overflow. Sometimes it is good to search for "[what you wanna do] tutorial" this way you get quicker solutions, because the manual often does not give you the general overview, it just explains one or some components.

Answer 2

You can reffere below link for detail study of how zend frameworks basics work.

Answer 3

Survive The Deep End is a good resource to start with a concrete project.

Answer 4

For me, the three definitive ZF Getting Started tutorials are:

1. Quick Start from Zend
2. Album tutorial from Rob Allen
3. Surviving the Deep End from Padraic Brady

Two additional applications which I have found helpful, though a little more advanced, are:

1. Dasprid's blog (src), from Ben Scholzen
2. PHPPlaneta, from Robert Basic

Learned a lot from all of them.

And, of course:

ZendCasts

In the end, Rob Allen's answer says it all.
