Fabien Potencier

Do you still think you have to choose between Symfony and the Zend Framework? Think again. Both have different goals and both have their own strengths. What if you can use the best of both worlds in the same project? In this session, I will demonstrate how to embed the Zend Framework into your symfony project and how to leverage some of the great libraries of the Zend Framework like Zend Lucene.
Architecting Your Models
Matthew Weier O'Phinney
Zend Technologies
While MVC architectures are commonplace in PHP frameworks, very little attention is paid to the Model other than common "data access" -- with no regard to testability or the variety of non-database persistance possibilities. In this session, we'll look at how to create excellent models with a variety of approaches for persistence.
Zend_Tool: Practical use and Extending
Ralph Schindler

Since 1.8, Zend_Tool has been available to assist with rapid development of ZF based applications. In addition to RAD, the Zend_Tool infrastructure also affords developers the opportunity to extend it, making it possible to script repetitive tasks needed to maintain applications.

Ajax Strategies For Zend Framework
Matthew Weier O'Phinney
Zend Technologies
An interesting facet of Web 2.0 applications is that web applications are actually getting closer to a classic event-driven MVC model, In such cases, the view layer is now in your UI code -- your markup, CSS, and JavaScript -- and you are sending messages -- typically in JSON -- from your client to your server in order to update the view. In this tutorial, we will look at different strategies you may use to do so within Zend Framework, including creation of Service Layers and creation of JSON-RPC and JSON-REST endpoints. Examples will use Dojo, but other JS toolkits could easily be substituted.
Extending Zend Framework & Extending with Zend Framework
Ralph Schindler
Zend Technologies Inc.
Zend Framework is widely known as having a "use-at-will" architecture, but what does that really mean? We'll explore two scenarios: one where developers use Zend Framework as a base and extend various components to suite their needs and another where developers can extend nonZF code with ZF components. On conclusion, developers will have a necessary enough understanding to extend with and for ZF.
