This book guides you through the process of developing a content management system with Zend Framework. It utilizes a hands-on, step-by-step approach that introduces you to many of the core components of the framework over the course of the project.
When the project is completed, you will have more than a simple CMS system; you will also have the skills and experience that you need to customize this base to meet the requirements of much more advanced and complicated projects.
This book was written for PHP programmers who have at least some experience working with object-oriented PHP. It would help to have some familiarity with Zend Framework, but you will learn a lot about the framework over the course of the book.
To follow along with the examples, you will need a computer on which you can install a local testing server. In this book, I use Zend Server Community Edition, which is a free server that comes preconfigured to work seamlessly with the framework.
I strongly recommend a professional IDE such as Zend Studio as well; it is true that many PHP programmers get along fine with a simple text editor, but these object-oriented principles are much easier to manage and develop with the proper software.
