Preface

A couple of years ago I was introduced to Zend Framework 1 by a friend of mine, and since then I have been a fan. Although the first framework was a real bulky framework with not much documentation, I feel that the second version of the framework improved greatly. The incredible toolshed full of features, makes this framework (personally) one of the best frameworks to work in.

But as we all probably know, because of its incredibly vast library of features the learning curve can appear very steep. That is why I felt the need to write about all the important parts of the framework, in bite-size pieces that don't overwhelm someone (you in this case) who wants to learn it.
