A set of screencasts designed to introduce a new user to the Zend Framework. They go over installation of the zend framework through creating a basic content website.

After reading many tutorials, I decided it was time to write one myself. Not because the ones out there are bad, most of them are really good reads, and will get you started with the Zend Framework in a jiffy. But in my opinion they take a wrong approach towards getting people started in application development.

One of the best introductions to Zend Framework was made by Rob Allen. Is a tutorial (now as 19 pages PDF document, continuously updated to latest Zend Framework versions, an translated to multiple languages) with a sample aplication for making an inventory system to display a CD collection. It shows mostly how to be used Model View Controller in Zend Framework.

This tutorial is intended to give a very basic introduction to using Zend_Auth for authentication of users. It builds on the Getting Started with the Zend Framework tutorial, so please read that one first!

Demonstrate a web environment where 'public' (i.e. non-authenticated) users and 'member' users have access restrictions, and to what context they may visit those resources. In a lot of ways this broad concept relates very well to small-medium sites of a lot of Zend developers (in my opinion). For purpose of clarity we will assume this is a SIG group for Mac Users to discuss all things Mac OS X-related. The site has 3 areas (home, news, tutorials) that are for the general public. Members can also view a discussion forum, community newsletter and support request area for members to share common problems.

In this tutorial, a tiny demo application will be constructed to highlight key features of the Zend Framework and demonstrate how its components could be integrated and used together. Although the demo application is not intended for production use, the working application provides a simple skeleton for building Zend Framework applications. Even advanced PHP developers may find some parts of the demo enlightening to see how the Zend Framework might differ from other frameworks in its use and application of design patterns and components providing popular functionality.

Yet more Zend Framework -related material. I've talked with a few people about using Zend_Acl and how to best approach the issue of resources, roles and users. It isn't immediately obvious how one should do this: - Create roles and resources in code? - Load them from a database?

in this tutorial, we will design a sample application for the zend framework, putting an emphasis on application design. Starting from the models we will work our way up to a more or less complete application.

So I decided to write a bit about my experience and implementation of the Zend_Acl component, it's a bit rough but I hope it gives an idea of how to possibly implement Zend_Acl. Let me know if there's anything not very clear, I'm no english major so there's bound to be some awful sections.

A small tutorial about setting up the zend framework. Explained as easy as possible, to get you started as quickly as possible, without too much fuss. It's meant for people who are new to the framework.
