Zend Framework helps build more secure, reliable, and modern Web 2.0 applications and web services—consuming widely available APIs from leading vendors like Google, Amazon, Yahoo!, Flickr, as well as API providers and cataloguers like StrikeIron and ProgrammableWeb. With over 1,000 pages and 500 examples, Zend Framework: The Official Programmer's Reference Guide complements quality code with quality documentation. This two volume guide gets you started and then immersed into all that Zend Framework has to offer.
