Gets a "framework newbie" comfortable using the ZF quickly, Aoû 4 2008
As every other book I've read with the PHP Architect's name on it, this book too suffers horribly from typos, errors, and broken code samples which are bad enough to easily confuse new programmers who don't see these as mistakes but instead wonder "what the heck is going on as it doesn't work as it says it should?". However if you can get past that, this is their first book that I have not only appreciated the authors work, I highly recommend it.
I like the authors writing style which well suites the name of the book. A "guide" walks you through and teaches you things along the way. In the same way this author walks you through a good intro to the Zend Framework to where hopefully you feel comfortable using it by the end.
As such this book is really meant to be read from beginning to end and is not really suited as a quick reference. With the excellent and ever updated online API documentation, I don't see why one would buy a reference guide and I am glad this author leaves most of those details out.
I found the tutorials I've found on the internet lacking in one thing in that while they teach you how to do something in the framework you are still left confused as you don't see how it ticks or how all the pieces fit together. For me this book unravels the mysteries by putting the missing pieces together and showed me enough of the magic behind this framework that it makes sense that I know now how to bend the framework to do just about anything. Keep in mind I am a very high level programmer and thus I will likely get different things out of it from someone else.
That said, the author does not teach PHP in this book and assumes you have a good understanding of PHP5 and OOP in order to follow him.
Until reading this book I heard a lot of hype about "frameworks" and after following a few leads I thought a "framework" was more like what I saw in CakePHP or symfony of which I felt more like me using a product that I would squeezed into becoming my software rather than a tool set I actually used. Being at my core a passionate software developer who loves to develop from scratch with performance in mind, I found these limiting and very slow compared to what I was used too.
After reading this authors description of a framework and now that I have better seen what the ZF is, I see it really does not different from my own current "tool kit of scripts". In fact by renaming "framework" as "tool kit" it makes a lot more sense to me. I guess it was renamed so marketers could sell us older developers on more conferences, magazines, and books.
Regardless of the language lesson, the beauty I find in a "tool set" like ZF is when you start a new type of project you can determine all your needs up front and thus select just the tools in the tool kit that fit the requirements. For example if you know the site will be hammered and you can write your own SQL queries you can skip using an ORM and save enough performance you can likely skip caching and/or clustering. Okay ORM isn't a tool in ZF (that I could find) but you can use 3rd party ORM products with ZF and it served a good example. Very little in the ZF has to be grouped together to work and any class seem to be usable on its own so you can select just what you need. I can even run the ZF right along side my own framework and select the better tools from each. Now that is pretty cool!
I would of given this book the full 5 stars if it had been proof read and the printed code in the book tested (the code you can also download supposedly works but I never downloaded the code as I could easily follow the author). But with that number of typos and errors I had to drop it to a four at most.
