Hello Robert,

> I don't understand what are you getting at?

What I am getting at is that I find the quality of the ZF2 documentation quite 
low and wonder whether it is this low in quality because Zend rather wants 
people to spend 1.200€ on a course that covers the basics of building 
applications with ZF2 than allocating resources for the generation of an end 
user documentation that will get people up and running. 

Let's be honest, the documentation is very poor - as is the layout and 
navigation of the website where it can be found at. The documentation of ZF1 
was much, much better and was good enough to build an application from scratch 
just by reading the documentation (even though it wasn't perfect). 

I'm aware that I as - an end user, that is, as someone who wants to use ZF2 to 
build applications with it - would be more knowledgeable if I could have taken 
the time and had become a contributor right from the start, or hang out on IRC 
channels all the time and read every email that has been sent on the mailing 
list, but: it seems impossible with a job and a private life and with the 
desire to read a book and sleep and go out every once in a while and what not 
to keep updated on all these channels and catch up with all the blog posts that 
are being written and I just really wish there was a decent documentation on 
the *why* and *how* of ZF2 components, that would help understand everything 
without giving me a big headache. 

I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but at the moment I feel not tempted very 
much, but pushed even more into buying one of these classes - only because of 
the lack of alternatives (as it seems). 

I really want to get going fast, but I can't take a month or two off work to 
study all the components and their source code. 

I feel lost. 


Best regards,

Andreas
