 simple by design. |
| Review Date: November 21, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Robert Xavier, Tampa, Florida, USA |
| I bought this book to see how he implemented the node based pattern for managing the content of the cms. I thought it was great for that. I had to move to an abstract database structure and this book helped me understand it and implement it quickly. There are also some gems for managing the navigation or menus... I believe Forrest Lyman when he says the cms project in this book is simplistic by design, because the simpler software is, the easier it is to customize. So in just a few days I was able to read this book and absorb the principles. And thats good for me. |

Very thorough and accurate overview of the Zend Framework, helped me grasp MVC as it should be done in PHP. The author did a really excellent job of demonstrating the different modules that are available in the Zend framework, along with very practical and modern uses for them such as displaying navigation, a search feature, caching queries, security, form building, i18n - I've gotta say this is the best overall book for a framework I've read since the great Pylons Book ( for Python ) by James Gardner.
I would recommend this over 'Beginning Zend Framework'. Every book has a few errors in the code examples, the ones in this book were minimal but I documented a few of them at [...] if that helps anyone out, as there isn't any errata on the Apress page for this book yet. |

| This book gave me some great tools for working with zend and makes it easy for me to decide how I am going to solve problems. I would recomend it to anyone interested in using zend framework and anyone who is already using zend framework. |
A great book to learn how to use the Zend Framework

If you want to learn how to implement a site using the ZF, then this is your book. It is clear and readable and teaches you a lot of things: from database design to OOP. What you get is a really clear introduction to the ZF plus very valuable insights on CMS design and implementation.
I completely disagree with Travis A. Butler (see two star comment) on the number and nature of errors in the source code. It's true that there are some misspellings and some inconsistencies (using $frmBugReport and then $bugReportForm, for example) but they are easily spottable.
It may not be FOR PROFESSIONALS but you'll become more of a professional after working through the book. |
Not Advanced, But the Best Book for Zend Framework (so far)
|
| Review Date: November 15, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Castlebravo, |
I have been searching for an adequate book to teach the basics of the Zend Framework. I was looking for something beyond the many introductory tutorials already available on the internet. This book covered my need in only about three days of reading. The author effectively uses a CMS project as a vehicle to explain the capabilities of the framework in a simple way. This is not an advanced text, but if you want to learn to make a working prototype of a web application using the Zend Framework this book provides the necessary foundation.
I have looked closely at the few other Zend Framework books, and this book does not contain the glaring errors and weaknesses of those books.
My only criticism of this book is the "Pro" techniques title. I think they are introductory techniques. Since no other book has provided the introductory techniques in a compelling and effective way, I recommend it for that reason. I look forward to an advanced Zend Framework book in the future.
