php|architect Announces 'Programming with the Zend Framework'
For those of you who missed the fireworks and the marching bands, last week, php|architect announced their next book project, php|architect’s Guide to Programming with the Zend Framework.
This is a project I’ve been interested in since it’s very beginning, mainly because I’m the author of this particular tome. I caught up with myself yesterday to get a quote on this new project and here’s what I had to say.
I like this book, I really, REALLY like this book. I mean don’t get me wrong, I like the Zend Framework as well, but I really like this book.
I went on like that for a while but you get the idea.
The php|architect web site was a bit more helpful giving a breakdown of the contents of the book and a useful quote.
- Getting started
- The Model
- The Controller
- The View
- Data access
- Web services
- Authorizations
- Exceptions and error management
- Rich Internet Applications
- Hacking the framework: secret classes and advanced functionality
- Framework internals
- Tips & tricks
- The new Zend_Layout classes
With a rich, example-driven style and the trademark no-fluff approach to professional content, php|architect’s Guide to Programming with the Zend Framework belongs in your book collection!
In speaking with the publisher, a sample chapter will be forthcoming and we will share it with you when it becomes available. When asked about the sample chapter, the author wandered away mumbling something about “freeloaders” and “buy the dang book”.
Comments
Anyway, book is already on pre-order, I am eagerly awaiting january 18th when the pdf-version should be available.
Great job putting this resource together which I am sure will allow me and others to further grasp the inner workings of Zend Framework.
$frontController->setParam('noViewRendered', true);
should of course be 'noViewRenderer'!
(there are also some typos in the dedications... but that's no big deal)
otherwise, I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the book.... I hope development of the Zend Framework continues at it's current pace (or faster :))
