Zend Framework : Trouver la voie des bonnes pratiques L'utilisation de Zend Framework comme base d'un projet permet d'encadrer le développement et de l'inscrire dans une démarche industrielle. Pour autant, la seule maîtrise des composants n'est pas suffisante. Un framework comporte également un ensemble de règles et de bonnes pratiques auxquelles il convient de se conformer pour garantir la maintenabilité du projet tout au long de son cycle de vie. Ce sont ces bonnes pratiques fondamentales que nous présentons lors de ce webinar. Présentateur : Gauthier Delamarre, Responsable Services Professionnels VA Consulting.

Zend Framework Filters: The Secure Man's Best Friend The Zend Framework Filter is one of the most powerful tools in your security arsenal when creating secure, quality code in your Zend Framework Projects. ZF comes with a standard set of filters which can handle most of your day to day needs. More advanced projects may require more complex filtering scenarios, however. In that case, creating your own Zend Framework Filter may be the answer. This screencast will cover the concepts behind a filter, describe and demonstrate some of the built in filters in Zend Framework 1.11, and then step you through creating your own filter using the HTML Purifier library. Presenter – Aaron Saray, Kevin Schroeder (41 min) July 27 2011      Presentation slides

Creating Fast, Dynamic ACLs in Zend Framework Zend Framework's Access Control Layer system is simple and straight-forward; however, as the number of rules increase in size and complexity, maintenance and performance suffer. The solution: a dynamic, reflection-based ACL system, with built-in caching. Sound complicated? Don't worry, it's easy to setup and a lot easier to manage! Join this webinar to learn how! Presenter – Wim Godden, Cu.be Solutions (60 min) June 15, 2011     Presentation slides

Using Doctrine2 ODM with Zend Framework Doctrine 2 introduces a new realm of possibility for application design, an ORM for No-SQL databases.

Melis CMS est la nouvelle génération de solution de gestion de contenu conçu pour pallier à l’ensemble de ces problématiques. Les deux objectifs principaux de la solution Melis CMS ont été de faire un outil : 100% adapté aux utilisateurs finaux (facile à prendre en main et très ergonomique) professionnel & industriel très accessible à l’ensemble de la communauté des développeurs (100% Zend Framework & ExtJS) Regardez ce webinar afin de découvrir cette nouvelle solution qui vous impressionnera par son ergonomie et sa puissance fonctionnelle. Durée : 50 minutes (dont Q&A) Présentateurs : Fabrice Fesch, Directeur Technique Melis & Christian Durel, Directeur Général Zend Europe du Sud.    Slides de présentation NB : ce webinar a servi de base à notre session lors de Solutions Linux 2011. Cette présentation était plus axée sur les avantages qu'un éditeur pouvait retirer à utiliser les solutions Zend. Vous pouvez consulter les slides de cette session ici.

Zend Framework 2 Patterns Zend Framework 1 grew organically. An effort behind version 2.0 was to identify common themes and patterns, and to unify these in order to provide common low-level patterns to use everywhere. This webinar will serve as an overview of these patterns, identifying them, and discussing the interfaces involved and the concrete use cases we plan to ship in ZF2.   Presenter – Matthew Weier O'Phinney  (66 min) April 6, 2011       Presentation slides

Your First Zend Framework Project on IBM i Zend Framework (ZF) provides a free, powerful structure for PHP Applications on IBM i. Developers love ZF's flexibility, but that flexibilty sometimes leaves first-time ZF users not knowing where to begin. Fortunately, it's not difficult after you've seen how it's done. This presentation will go step by step through creating a basic PHP application with ZF. This webinar will include: * How to download ZF or find it on IBM i * How to automatically generate ZF's directory structure * How to configure the application to access db2 and display database results.   Presenter – Mike Pavlak and Alan Seiden   (60 min) March 23, 2011       Presentation slides

As a key component of the Open Source LAMP stack, PHP is the fastest growing web development languages for developing interactive and dynamic web applications that meet the demands of the enterprise. Extending the art & spirit of PHP, Zend Framework is emerging as the preferred PHP programmer’s toolkit for designing Web applications with best practices. It is based on extreme simplicity, the latest Web 2.0 features, object-oriented best practices, corporate friendly licensing, and a rigorously tested agile codebase. Zend Framework is focused on building more secure, reliable, and modern Web 2.0 applications & web services, and consuming widely available APIs from leading vendors like Google, Amazon, Yahoo!, Flickr, as well as API providers and cataloguers like StrikeIron and ProgrammableWeb. This session will provide a brief overview of PHP, discuss the key drivers influencing the growth and success of PHP in supporting business critical web applications, and what Zend Technologies is doing to drive best practices and quality web applications within the PHP community and in support of commercial users. Web development design topics will include MVC, Search, Data Access, Web Services, Filter, Authentication, Cache, and more.

Earlier this year Zend announced an unprecedented partnership with the Dojo Foundation to deliver deeper integration between the Zend Framework and Dojo Toolkit projects. Although the ZF and Dojo communities will implement many integration points to make AJAX functionality available out of the box, each project plans to maintain compatibility with other server-side frameworks and client-side toolkits. In this webinar, we will explore several AJAX integration points made available by ZF that may be implemented for any toolkit with examples implemented using Dojo.

Zend Framework 1.5 introduces some new components that make creating, updating, and maintaining your project as easy as running a few commands in a command-line interface (CLI). In addition, these components will reinforce Zend Framework best practices by providing project templates which can be used out-of-the-box or modified to meet the specific needs of any application.
In this webinar, we explored these powerful new components by creating a new project, adding a few controllers and actions, and removing a few controllers and actions- hopefully ending up with a working application when all is said and done.

It has been almost a year since the 1.0 release of Zend Framework. In that time we've seen some of the most trafficked sites in the world deployed on ZF, many popular enterprise-oriented projects built with ZF, and some of the greatest times ever had (while coding) using ZF. Since our community has been so great in giving back to the project, we decided it's the Zend Framework team's turn to find a new way to give back.

On April 30, 2008, Zend's very own Zend Framework team made themselves available for a 2-hour Q&A session. Click below to hear the outcome!

Just as we strive for optimal reuse, organization, and clarity in our code on the backend of a web application, it’s just as important to maintain those same tenets with respect to the view layer or "design & presentation" side of a project. The problem of maintaining a consistent look and feel while encouraging best practices is what Zend_Layout, as well as the Zend Framework 1.5 Zend_View enhancements, attempt to solve.

In this Webinar we covered:

• The problem of consistent look and feel in an MVC Architecture
• Zend_Layout and the "Two-Step-View" - solution to the problem
• An example of configuring and using Zend_Layout with both the MVC components as well as standalone
• An example of configuring and using the new Zend_View Doctype and head*() Helpers
• Use cases and examples of when to use Action, Partial and Placeholder helpers for complex views

One of the most sophisticated applications built on Zend Framework to date is the QEDWiki project by IBM. QEDWiki is an “application wiki” which extends the wiki concept significantly. Drag and drop application elements onto wiki pages, connect them through web services, and create composite applications that solve real business needs. IBM and Zend have an ongoing partnership to foster PHP development and this is just one example of how they are working together. Much of the code that IBM has developed for QEDWiki is in the process of being given back to the community in the form of contributions to the Zend Framework. The widgets themselves are PHP classes that are executed via AJAX to render themselves. Most of the widgets used in the demos have both a design-time and a run-time rendering. Check out this impressive demonstration and learn more about the QEDWiki.
