Zend Framework

The Zend Framework is a web application framework designed to make building complex PHP based web applications easier.

The Zend Framework contains a series of components (built using PHP 5) that manages many common task in web application development:

• Zend_Form: to make form handling/processing easier.
• Zend_Mail: makes email functionality trivial to create in PHP.
• Zend_Db_Adapter: to connect to databases.
• Zend_Pdf: allows you to easily create and edit PDF documents.

... And this is just a small sampling.

Web application frameworks like the Zend Framework provide a few key advantages:

1. The code is well tested and optimized - less chance of bugs.
2. Frameworks provide a standardized way of doing things, so people new to a project, can easily jump in without having to learn a whole new architecture.
3. A grab-bag of pre-made components really speeds up the development process.

As such, I think it makes real sense to learn the Zend Framework.
