Okay, it's been a long time, a really long time, since I've posted anything useful on this blog.. Sorry about that, my job at Zend has been keeping me pretty busy and I've been attending a vast number of conferences as well presenting on a whole range of PHP topics...

Although it has been a long time, I thought I would re-enter the blogsphere with a little offering for your playing pleasure. It's something I am calling "ZApp" (standing for "Zend Application", although since I wrote this outside of Zend it's really not my place to use that name). What is it? Well, basically it's an application template built on top of Zend Framework designed to give the development some organization, tools, and guidance when building an application on top of ZF. I'll admit that I got a number of useful ideas from the Ruby on Rails folks when I went to implement this but don't let that scare you away -- I think some of their architectual concepts are pretty solid myself, even if overall its too oversimplified/constrained.

For the record, I wrote this pretty much in the last 6 hrs or so for myself. I make no claims you'll like it, find it useful, etc.
