Time to go back to using Doctrine then :( bye bye nice models.....
Do you think it would be a good idea to update the Quickstart guide
now to not use the Data Mapper pattern and use doctrine instead?
I would strongly disagree with that move. I think ZF has always offered
2 solid solutions to modeling: use our Data classes (Table Row, etc) to
build out a proper model, OR use a 3rd Party ORM framework- like Doctrine.
At ZendCon, i've heard more than one person say "This is the way
modeling should be done" after seeing matthew's talk on
http://www.slideshare.net/weierophinney/architecting-your-models
If a project doesn't have the resources to model their data like that,
or they need to leverage the Doctrine ecosystem to get a project done in
time. But in the most ideal world (where resources are not an issue), I
too think that this presentation shows how things should be done.
That said, I think the quickstart should show both options, but focus on
the Data Mapper, Service Layer stuff.
