I've started using Zend Framework and Studio for my projects and would like to hear from those who already use it what to expect. I'm not interested so much in the good things because these can be marketing messages. I want to know about the things that are not so good or are annoying so I can decide for myself if they matter enough to me. Thanks for all your input.
The Zend framework makes web development easy, and can complete tasks quickly and efficiently. The ZF doesn't come as a whole unit that doesn't budge at all. It is decoupled, meaning the components come as an individual library , so the developers need to load only the required components.
Zend Framework is a collection of professional PHP packages with more than 570 million installations. It can be used to develop web applications and services using PHP 5.6+, and provides 100% object-oriented code using a broad spectrum of language features.
Zend is an open source PHP framework. It is pure object-oriented and built around the MVC design pattern. Zend framework contains collection of PHP packages which can be used to develop web applications and services. Zend was started by Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski.
Its a pretty good learning curve, with pretty limited (awful) documentation for most developers. Be prepared for that, as it will take most developers a good few weeks + to get a handle on it and how to do things "properly".
But I guess to say that will probably be the case with any framework. I just know that was a huge task to learn, and I am still learning. So doing something I have not done before with ZF, although I may have done this separately on another project, tends to take a bit more time.
Overhead. A lot of it. ZF is huge,
I'm using ZF for two years now and I'm quite happy with it. Just few things:
