Good Zend Framework example apps to learn from

Question

Hi!

Do you know of any open-source Zend Framework applications besides Magento that show in a good OOP-way how to develop big apps with Zend Framework?

My problem right now is, that I'm pretty good at PHP and OOP, but I don't have enough knowledge of the Zend Framework and how things should be solved in it.

So do you know any good applications that showcase best-practices for ZF?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I've only peeked into the source of Magento (magentocommerce.com) but it has a pretty good result on the outside.

Answer 4

Magento is a good example of the Zend Framework, Until you start looking at how they decided to go about templating! Wow.. wonder how late that meeting was when they decided to depart from logic and create their highly nested template components.. fun times (from a designers perspective) :)
