Following the preview release launched of Zend Framework, Chris have written a very good Tutorial introducing the Zend framework from the first steps to download the package and getting started, Zend, Zend_Controller, Zend_View, Zend_InputFilter, Building a News Application, Getting the Database To Work, and finally Making Things Work. I find it very well explained and an excellent introduction to start working with Zend Framework.

Chris : I’m a little late announcing this, but I wrote a quick Zend Framework Tutorial for php|architect over the weekend. It was written in haste and likely contains some errors as a result, but I’ve arranged to have the tutorial updated frequently. Therefore, it should gradually improve as well as continue to remain relevant as the framework evolves.

The demo app from the tutorial is also available for download
