ZF2_3_QuickStart_Rewrite

This repository is the home of a new introduction into the world of the Zend Framework 2 and following versions for the official documentation. It's aim is to be far more verbose than the current QuickStart to make it easier for users to understand what ZF2++ is all about, how does it work, what do error messages mean, etc...

Discussing the outline

In this repository you'll only see the file outline.md. This file contains all the content that I plan to write. If there's any contents missing, be sure to point this out in here.

Demo Application

The whole code for the AlbumDemoApplication can be found in this repository

• manuakasam/ZF3AlbumDemo

There's a couple of differences to the code layed out within the tutorial as that code is just a proof of concept I did. It will be updated to PHP 5.3 standards at a later point in time.
