PHP Training - Zend Framework Course
Duration
One day
Pre-Requisites
Understanding and familiarity with Object Oriented programming, and PHP5.
Description
The Zend Framework is rapidly becoming the defacto standard PHP framework. This one day course introduces delegates to the following main components :
- Zend_Config
- Zend_Registry
- Zend_Controller
- Zend_View
- Zend_Tool
- Zend_Form
- Zend_Db
- Zend_Mail
- Zend_Cache
- Zend_XmlRpc

The course aims to give a working introduction to the Zend Framework for existing PHP developers; knowledge of Object Orientation is a pre-requisite.
The main exercise of the course guides delegates through migrating a 'legacy' PHP application (a toy shop) to a Zend Framework version. This utilises the Zend_Layout, Zend_Controller, Zend_View, Zend_Db_Table and Zend_Form. Additional exercises are available to allow delegates to enhance the toy-shop with Zend_Mail, Zend_XmlRpc and Zend_Search_Lucene.
On a technical level, this course is written for the Zend Framework 1.9.x branch.
