Web Application Development Using Zend Framework

Laminas (formerly Zend Framework) is a leading open-source framework for developing enterprise-scale, PHP web applications and services. Laminas incorporates advanced software design patterns with a component structure based on highly modular, object-oriented code.

What Will You Learn?

The Laminas Fundamentals course covers everything you need to know to build a database-driven web application based upon Laminas MVC (formerly Zend Framework 3).

In the course you learn not only Laminas MVC, but supporting technologies such as the Service Manager, a dependency-injection container class that provides a single source of services needed by your application.

You also learn how to define callbacks that you can attach to built-in events, or events of your own creation.

Finally, you get a birds-eye view of Laminas modularization and how to build infinitely scalable applications that grow with your company.

By the time you're done taking this course, you are able to:

  • Install Laminas MVC.
  • Build dynamic template-driven web pages.
  • Define SEO friendly URLs.
  • Display HTML5 web forms that include CSS.
  • Filter, validate and sanitize incoming data.
  • Conduct complex database queries.
  • Safely store data into a database.
  • Trigger events that activate custom listeners of your own creation.
  • Easily add new features by defining new modules.
