Laminas Fundamentals

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.

Audience

This course is designed for intermediate PHP developers who have a good working knowledge of the PHP language and object-oriented programming (OOP). This is an introductory course and assumes no previous Laminas experience. While this is a fundamental level course on Laminas, participants are assumed to be proficient enough in the PHP language to understand intermediate-level code examples and to perform coding exercises.

Prerequisites

Good working knowledge of PHP at an intermediate level and experience with developing object- oriented PHP applications. 

Class Format and Duration

This course provides a series of instructor-led lectures coupled with practical examples and participant exercises. Apart from holidays, course lectures are scheduled with a day in between meetings to allow participants to complete the labs.

Classes include 18 total training hours spread across a 2-4 week course. Classes meet 2-3 times per week, with each session lasting between 2-3 hours.

Participants are provided with a course guide, and a virtual machine with solution code for a practice application used as a teaching tool throughout the course.
