Free Zend Framework Screencasts - Zendcasts

Hi everyone! Over the last 6 months, I’ve had the pleasure of putting together over 30 videos about the Zend Framework for your enjoyment. I’d like to thank you all for subscribing! Special thanks are in order for those who’ve gone out of their way to chip in! As you may know, Zendcasts is a viewer supported endeavor, which relies on feedback on the site as well as individual donations.

You might have noticed a couple weeks of experimenting with an advertising model on the site, and frankly I couldn’t stand the ads myself and would rather keep the content and experience as pure as possible. In an attempt to keep those ads far away, if you’ve found this site helpful, please consider making a donation!

I’ll be back at the beginning of August with a new set of videos on working with Google Maps, Google Docs, Zend_Auth, Doctrine and much more!

Stay tuned and have a great summer,

Jon Lebensold

This video is part 2 of my introduction to Zend_Form. These last two videos have been a bit long since Zend_Form has a lot of behavior.

I’ve also included the source code for this video. Hopefully this will help you follow along.

download the source here, I haven’t included the Zend Framework itself, but I imagine you can grab a copy off of the Zend website.

This screencast ran a little long, and unfortunately I’ll have to post the rest next week. We start with creating a DTO (Data Transfer Object) that will house our data as we pass it from the Controller, to the form and then back to the view. Zend_Form is used for validation and rendering.

enjoy!
