Free Zend Framework Screencasts - Zendcasts

I’d like to introduce Tawfek’s sequel to his video covering Debugging in Firebug with the Zend Framework. If you’re looking for a tutorial on how to write a custom Action Helper, or wishing to make your ajax development more robust with logging and profiling, then these 33 minutes will save you a pile of googling. Download the source code or browse it online. Have a question? We’ll do our best to answer it in the forums (no registration currently required!)
