Zend Framework Hidden Gems
Zend Framework: Hidden Gems is a series of articles which will document individual sections of the Zend Framework with a pragmatic solution-based focus. The articles will be initially published on the Zend Developer Zone and are available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 License.
0. Introduction
1. Zend_Cache
2. Zend_Config
3. Zend Plumbing
4. Zend_DB
5. Zend_Feed
6. Zend_Db_Select
Each chapter builds on previously covered topics, and will also cover some of the underlying PHP5 code and techniques which are used in the package in questions. (Note: These sections may not be available in the initial release of the chapter, but will be added at a later point.)
When the series is complete (Q3 2007) the complete articles (including sections added after initial publication) will made available in printed format. The printed version will be professionally edited and will contain an appendix with several articles focusing on non-Zend Framework PHP Packages which accomplish similar tasks.
The chapters will be “maintained” and enhancements made to the Zend Framework packages will be reflected in the online versions of the article. I have not chosen a publisher for the book, however I am leaning to a print-on-demand service (such as lulu.com) which will enable me to provide the most up-to-date version of the book to my readers, as well as retain all rights to the work. The book will always be freely available at this page.
