Is it enough?

PS: Take 5 minutes to see new components Zend_Form & Zend_Layout. There are very great

Zend is in the market to make money, though then again, whose not? It’s just, as far as I can tell, they don’t have any direct easy to follow sources that walk you through on how to do anything. Perhaps I am not pro enough to learn the framework – I only have a year or two of PHP experience under my belt.

If Zend is so great, please point to where I can learn it and master it without the constant frustration. Thanks!

Plight on this is there is no Book available. I am wondering how you guys are supporting a framework which is most non supportive ever in in the industry.

What about their marketing. PHP is FREE so are most of the frameworks CAKE, symphony etc. Still we are preferring Zend. Anyways, i am not against Zend at all but there must be support for the framework, books, help manuals etc. don’t talk about zend manual its nothing but a marketing strategy.

Think why PHP is so popular? Support and ease. Where does Zend Stands.

How many projects are done in Zend and how many people knows it. Not everyone will be against a good framework but support factor kill everyone sometimes in critical situation.

Also, how many people knows the framework. They want people to learn from them only @ $2200. Do you think developers in developing nation with high currency conversion rate can afford it. Simple guess NO. So eventually other frameworks will kill them and Zend will kill their marketing guys. It’s not always about making money but sharing what is developed. Think about Google’s success OR be as good as Mr. Bill Gates to lead from front otherwise you are gone.

My comments were not about the framework, at all… Only about the intentions for the origination of the article, thats all.

@Gee… I was not upset in my writing that comment. Am I not allowed to express my opinion on this site in regards to an article like everyone else?

PS: For frenchy there is a good site: http://www.z-f.fr

Chill out buddy! The ZendFramwork is by far the most loosely
coupled framework out there. I use cake, symfony, and rails.
ZendF is going to become the main for php though.
Look…
1). Do Not need CLI to create app
2). Code is phenomenally clean
3). Plugin architecure is much cleaner.
4). Did I mention TRUE loose coupling

Give it a try and then speak.
