First off, I'm _assuming_ that you feel the ZF2 online docs are not as
good -- but you didn't spell that out.
The reason the ZF2 docs are where they are -- whether you feel they're
great or whether you feel they're insufficient -- is due to the
community. Documentation is community-driven. They've come a long way
since August, when I put out a request for help on the mailing lists,
and we got a ton of folks helping out.
If you feel they are insufficent still, please help make them better!
The documentation is on GitHub:
https://github.com/zendframework/zf2-documentation
and it's very easy to edit documentation in-place on github and submit
pull requests that way; you can also fork the repo and submit pull
requests as you would with normal code.
The ZF2 course is an effort that happens outside the community, as it is
a for-profit product initiated by Zend. Those working on it, however,
have submitted fixes to the ZF2 documentation where they've found them.
The goals of the course, though, are very different than those of an
online tutorial, as the training course allows the participants direct
access to the instructor, and includes directed exercises.
In short, it's completely natural to have both, and for them to be of
differing quality and attributes.
