ZendCon Day One, Session Two

Posted on October 09, 2007

I'm at ZendCon in San Francisco today and just sat down at the second session for me of the day - "Zend Framework Quick Start." After initial reservations of sitting through sessions about technologies that don't interest me, it occurred to me that with Zend behind it, the Zend Framework will likely become the 800 pound gorilla in the framework space. Ultimately I decided to go so I could see how they handle MVC and what kind of things I could take from their implementation. Interestingly, the presenter started off that Zend Framework isn't something a site like Tagged would want to use.

The first session I went to, which I will not name, was so poor that I walked out. I had hoped to get something from it, but between first language communication issues and an over simplified approach to the subject, there was no real information to be pulled but what the concept it covered was.
