Any Good Reference Zend Framework Based Applications for Beginners?

Question

Hi,

Iam coding my first Zend Framework application. Iam looking for some good applications for beginners to learn the framework and its intricacies.

I went through the quick start guestbook application from Zend's website in first 2 days and it was a nice tutorial and I got to learn many things from it.

However I want to go through some more apps and make myself more confident before I actually start contributing code to my actual product which my team is building.

Any references on the same?

Answer 2

This Alex's tutorial series on YouTube is very nice.

Take a look at zendcasts.com as well.

If you prefer book, take a look at Keith Pope's 'Zend Framework 1.8 - Web Application Development'.

You should take a look how do Zend Framework Contributors write their applications. Search for sample applications:

• ZFPlanet,
• Postr
• Pastebin.
