Zend Framework and getting to "I get it"?

Mon, 11/19/2007 - 22:33 — Specks

Hi Alex,

I've been looking through the documentation for the Zend Framework trying to get to that point where you go from "huh?" to "Ah ha! I get it!". The framework looks like it can be very powerful and with each subsequent versions it becomes even more powerful. I'm having a problem understanding the the library to a point of where I can put everything together and start developing an application to deploy. From the Acl to the XmlRpc. The more I read about it the more I see that I just don't get it. Are there any tips or hints or places you can point me to to get the information I need to get to that "I get it!" place?

Thanks,

Specks

Look at examples

The best I can suggest is to read two following tutorials (from http://www.alexatnet.com/node/45): http://weierophinney.net/matthew/archives/137-BostonPHP-Framework-Presen... by Matthew Weier O'Phinney and http://akrabat.com/zend-framework-tutorial/ by Rob Allen.

They summarize what ZF is and how to use it for creating simple applications.

Thanks

I looked through the Boston presentation from Matthew. It' fantastic and exactly what I needed. I think I'll get to the "I get it!" point for ZF very soon.

Thank you, Alex.
