Riassunto

From rather humble beginnings as the Personal Home Page scripting language, PHP has found its way into almost every server, corporation, and dev shop in the world. On an average day, somewhere between 500,000 and 2 million coders do something in PHP. Even when you use a well-understood language like PHP, building a modern web application requires tools that decrease development time and cost while improving code quality. Frameworks such as Ruby-on-Rails and Django have been getting a lot of attention as a result.

For PHP coders, the Zend Framework offers that same promise without the need to move away from PHP. This powerful collection of components can be used in part or as a whole to speed up the development process. Zend Framework has the backing of Zend Technologies; the driving force behind the PHP programming language in which it is written. The first production release of the Zend Framework became available in July of 2007.

Zend Framework in Action is a comprehensive tutorial that shows how to use the Zend Framework to create web-based applications and web services. This book takes you on an over-the-shoulder tour of the components of the Zend Framework as you build a high quality, real-world web application. This book is organized around the techniques you'll use every day as a web developer "data handling, forms, authentication, and so forth. As you follow the running example, you'll learn to build interactive Ajax-driven features into your application without sacrificing nuts-and-bolts considerations like security and performance.

This book is aimed at the competent PHP developer who wants to master framework-driven web development. Zend Framework in Action goes beyond the docs but still provides quick access to the most common topics encountered in the development of web applications.

Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

Informazioni sull?autore

Rob Allen is a full-time PHP developer and contributor to the Zend Framework, developing the Zend_Config component. He has also written a popular getting-started tutorial available from www.akrabat.com. Rob is the Technical Director of Big Room Internet.

Nick Lo is a web designer, developer, partner, and general 'wearer of many hats' with Ingredients, located in Byron Bay, Australia. Having formally trained as a designer, he initially taught himself programming to automate the more tedious aspects of printed catalog production. Since 1998 his involvement with website design and development has taken him further 'under the hood', working on a broad range of web-based applications from community portals to university research projects. His involvement in the Zend Framework began as an early participant in the community, gaining recognition through several online tutorials.

Steven Brown started using PHP in 1998 but has developed using many other languages including Java, Actionscript, Lingo and JavaScript. He has worked on desktop applications, multimedia CDs, websites, web applications, and more recently has worked on projects involving video and AJAX, while maintaining a focus on performance, reliability and security. Steven was introduced to the Zend Framework by Nick Lo and quickly adopted it as a replacement for his own core application code on several major projects. When he's not programming Steven enjoys driving or working on cars.
