A taste of Zend Framework
Nope not the preview release 0.70 I got stuck there at the bootstrap. Then how did I get to taste the ZF? through ZendFramework-20070208-3289 I downloaded the Latest Snapshot for February 8, 2007 and after a few days (not religiously coding) just trying to make it work kinda stuff hehehe I finally finished up one tutorial from
http://akrabat.com/zend-framework-tutorial/ it's just a simple demonstration of CRUD in ZF.
I'm a die hard supporter of CodeIgniter it opened my eyes to the MVC philosophy with ease if ever I did try to learn MVC with CakePHP. The outstanding user manual the great video tutorial supported many PHP Developer to try CodeIgniter and are now actively helping other PHP Developer to try CodeIgniter.
But then there is ZF, after RoR success the company behind PHP is now on it's move to create something to uphold the PHP Flag thou there are already numbers of PHP Frameworks and scored. IMHO supporting 1 Framework can promote Code Maintainability, Development Speed and Code Readability.
I'm not against Ruby or Rails in fact I like to try them sometime after I have set up a Development Server for it. I'm now searching of ways to make Ruby and PHP work in harmony in my old Ubuntu box.
