Hi: I have looked around and found several tutorials on the Zend Framework (some a bit outdated and not working with the stable release). But they all seem to handle basic issues in different ways.
It would be nice to have a "Best practises" page on the Wiki and also a basic but powerful "skeleton" demo capable of handling large web applications. Some examples on how to solves complex common real-life issues would be really nice (not just 'vainilla/utopian' demo applications). On the mailing list I have seen the same questions being asked over and over because developers lack a large skeleton/demo they can look at to solve their issues. Something I found very useful was the Directory Layout examples at: http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Choosing+Your+Application%27s+Directory+Layout But although it gives the user a good overview of the advantages and disadvantages of different directory layouts, sometimes having too much information can be a negative thing... it would be really nice to see one specific directory layout chosen and listed on a "Best practises" page. (From reading the Reference Guide, I guess the "Conventional Modular" is the way to go). I feel the Zend Framework would benefit from a such 'one-stop-shop' for new developers who would like to use it as their framework of choice for large web applications. Currently they have to do a lot of running around to find bits and pieces here and there. Thoughts and comments are very welcome.
