Zend Framework is an open-source PHP framework with a flexible, use-at-will architecture that lets you easily build modern web applications and web services. Zend Framework (or ZF) is often referred to as a “component library” because it has many components that can be used more or less independently to help build your web application. However, Zend Framework also provides a core MVC implementation that you may use to provide basic “best practices” structure to your web applications.

This QuickStart will guide you through the implementation of a simple blog application with a common page layout to demonstrate some of the advanced features of Zend Framework along with the Zend_Controller, Zend_View, Zend_Layout, Zend_Form, and Zend_Db components.

In my opinion I think that ZF it’s good, it has a lot of advanced features but I’m still a CakePHP fan, for its simplicity and rapid development.

   I’d just like to add that the QuickStart was the result of our QuickStart Contest. Bradley Holt and Aldemar Bernal submitted the winning entries from which we put together the official QuickStart. Well, almost put together. :) I still have to finish it off in the next couple of days.
   After the community has had a chance to comment on it and we’ve made necessary improvements, it will move to its permanent home at http://framework.zend.com/docs/quickstart. Come on back by in a week or so to check out the final product!
