Zend_Layout and Zend _View Enhancements Webinar
p. Just as we strive for optimal reuse, organization, and clarity in our code on the backend of a web application, it’s just as important to maintain those same tenets with respect to the view layer or “design & presentation” side of a project. The problem of maintaining a consistent look and feel while encouraging best practices is what Zend_Layout, as well as the Zend Framework 1.5 Zend_View enhancements, attempt to solve.
p. In this Webinar we covered:
*(disc) The problem of consistent look and feel in an MVC Architecture
* Zend_Layout and the “Two-Step-View” – solution to the problem
* An example of configuring and using Zend_Layout with both the MVC components as well as standalone
* An example of configuring and using the new Zend_View Doctype and head*() Helpers
* Use cases and examples of when to use Action, Partial and Placeholder helpers for complex views
p. Presented By: Ralph Schindler, PHP Developer, Zend Technologies

About Cal Evans
Many moons ago, at the tender age of 14, Cal touched his first computer. (We're using the term "computer" loosely here, it was a TRS-80 Model 1) Since then his life has never been the same. He graduated from TRS-80s to Commodores and eventually to IBM PC's.
For the past 10 years Cal has worked with PHP and MySQL on Linux OSX, and when necessary, Windows. He has built on a variety of projects ranging in size from simple web pages to multi-million dollar web applications. When not banging his head on his monitor, attempting a blood sacrifice to get a particular piece of code working, he enjoys building and managing development teams using his widely imitated but never patented management style of "management by wandering around".
Cal is currently based in Nashville, TN and is gainfully unemployed as the Chief Marketing Officer of Blue Parabola, LLC.
Cal is happily married to wife 1.28, the lovely and talented Kathy. Together they have 2 kids who were both bright enough not to pursue a career in IT.
Cal blogs at http://blog.calevans.com and is the founder and host of Day Camp 4 Developers
