Book Description

PHP developers can create more powerful applications using the flexibility of Zend Framework 2. This book will extend your capabilities through a totally practical course culminating in the creation of a social network.

  • Create powerful web applications by leveraging the power of this Model-View-Controller-based framework
  • Learn by doing; create a social network from design to deployment
  • Written in a framework and the API-centric approach to simplify the process of learning

In Detail

Zend Framework 2 has a flexible architecture that lets us build modern web applications and web services easily. It also provides an easy-to-use, high quality component library that is designed to be used the way you want.

It's easy to get started and produce a powerful and professional looking website with Zend Framework 2 Application Development. Exploring real life applications, we will explore the Zend Framework 2 components, as well as throwing some light on best practices and design concerns faced when building complex MVC applications.

Zend Framework 2 Application Development is a hands-on guide to building your application.

We will explore the components of this new version of the framework and discover how to use each component, the options available, and how to get the most from each component. Whilst learning everything you need to know, we’ll even create our own social network.

We will also learn to engineer an application using an API-centric approach, broadly used today to build applications that work seamlessly on desktops, mobiles and tablets. We will learn how to filter and validate data, interact with databases to retrieve and store data, handle and manipulate file uploads, interact with other websites, deal with spam, and also protect your APIs using OAuth authentication whilst allowing people from all over the world to interact with your application.

Zend Framework 2 Application Development is your guide to everything you need to know to build applications of any size for big and small companies alike, whilst using the right components for the job.
