@Ivo,
Thanks for the great review. I’ll take the notes you’ve given me and work on the problem areas.

@Jon,
I’ll work on ACL, I knew I should have covered it but when writing, you’ve got to leave something out if you want to hit the deadline. Zend_Form was actually released after the book but yes, if there’s a second edition, it will be in there.

Thanks again for the great input.

Hi,

Having got the book 2 weeks ago, I’d agree that it’s well written and very entertaining. My biggest problem is not what’s in it, but what’s missing - it could (and perhaps should) be twice the size. There are many things components of the framework I would have liked to have seen included - ACL, Lucene and most importantly Zend_Form (although I realise that Zend_Form is a very recent addition to the framework, so perhaps one for edition 2!).

As a beginner to the Zend framework I’d really like a bit more housekeeping instruction for example where do I put my Zend_Auth & ACL components, should I put a given function in the model or the controller etc - I know there is no right or wrong way - but due to the sparse nature of documentation at the moment I just need a way!

Overall the book has helped me greatly with the framework and I could recommend it to anybody learning the framework - although they will still need to use the documentation and API guide extensively to create a full application.
