Zend Framework: Fundamentals
The Zend Framework: Fundamentals course is designed for experienced PHP programmers who want to learn to combine ZF concepts and structural elements to utilize the full power of this software development kit for PHP 5 applications.
Zend Framework is an open-source class library with a central theme of 'extreme simplicity'. ZF helps you to reduce the tedious details of coding and instead allows developers to be more productive as they focus on the big picture. Utilizing a collection of customizable PHP classes, ZF provides robust functionality suitable for both large and small tasks.
This course combines teaching ZF with the introduction of the Model-View-Component (MVC) design pattern, to ensure you learn current best practices in PHP development.
The Zend Framework: Fundamentals course helps you to learn by doing. Each discussion of related components is presented with examples of how best to utilize them in your applications, Hands-on exercises and the mini-projects you develop during the course reinforce the concepts you have learned. The online Zend Training Center allows participants to develop code during the course with your instructor able to see and coach your progress.
