Re: [fw-general] What documentation do I need?
Try the Zend Framework In Action book (http://www.manning.com/allen/). It's
not perfect, but it's a good introduction to ZF and will give you a good
feel for it. It's available as an eBook and on paper. Obviously the ZF
docs will also help ...
For PHP programming, PHP In Action is one of the best books I've read on it,
although I was coming from a different background to you - good experience
with PHP but poor experience of modern programming techniques, so YMMV.
I personally would (did) choose ZF for the product you describe - not to say
there aren't other toolkits (or indeed, languages) that would solve the
problem, but this is the domain ZF was designed to work in, and for me, ZF's
philosophy, approach, & equally importantly, documentation & support, made
it a winner.
Cheers,

my suggestion is pick up some basic PHP 1st. i am also new to Zend Framework,
i wont say i am an expert in PHP either but working with ZF ok. except maybe
it slows me down a little becos of the learning curve.

this is the right answer. or maybe i shld say its like just another

[fw-general] What documentation do I need?
Hello community,
I've heard a couple of times about Zend and it left me with the idea it
would be great for the application I'm planning right now.
I'd need to know what documentation I should read, and in what order so that
I can fully understand:
- the nature of ZF (what it is exactly),
- its requirements,
- what it allows me to do,
- how to work with it.
For the last "-" ("how to work with it"), I'd need some quite complete
documentation, since I don't know much about PHP. I know HTML, a bit of CSS,
PHP, JavaScript... I've already put up together some LAMP servers, with or
without JSP support, etc.. but I've never coded much in PHP yet, or for the
web altogether (I'm really more into C++ and Java).
Just letting you know in case you'd tell me Zend is not for me: For this
project I'm planning, I will probably need emailing, a lot of database
reading/writing, putting up a payment system too, for one or not so many
products...
Thank you very much in advance,
Have a good day, each of you.
Max. J.
