Book finally announced, Zend Framework 1.8 Web Application Development

Book coming along nicely, plus removing require_once from Zend Framework

Just thought I would update the progress of the book, I am now on the final two chapters and the 1st draft version should be complete in about 3 weeks YAY!

I have been busy updating the Storefront over the weekend, which now has been optimized for the performance chapter and includes Model caching (which I hope is working....)

Anyway I will leave you with a nice little Ant Task for removing the require_once statements from the Zend library :)

Book Updates and Zend Framework 1.8 preview release

Just a quick note that I have now merged the Zend_Application try branch into the trunk of the Storefront project, this should now work with the 1.8 preview release.
