Customer Reviews
My Prayers Have Been Answered
That was a little over dramatic, but still....I have been looking for a good podcast about the Zend Framework for a while now, and this has answered my prayers. Thanks so much, I watch these every night to make sure i'm fresh and understand what i'm doing the next day at work. Please keep up the good work.
Excellent
The examples are clear and well detailed. A much needed resource for zend framework n00bs.
Very good (and needed) intro to Zend Framework topics
So far, so good. These are short tutorials, step by step, with appropriate explanations. This adds some badly needed expansion from the online Quickstart because the manual lacks examples. Very helpful and well done!
