How to set smart url in zend framework?

What is the best resource for learning Zend Framework 2?

• I want to learn to develop apps with Zend Framework 2. I have a solid experience in PHP and would like to deepen my skills with Zend Framework 2. I searched the Internet a lot and have found that all of the books are for Zend Framework 1.x. Is there any good resource for learning Zend Framework 2? I must note that I am a total beginner when it comes to ZF. I have tried reading the tutorial at the official ZF web page, but it hasn't helped me much.

• Answer:

  You should download the Skeleton Application first: https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication Dissect it, see what it does. Then, follow the official guide: http://zf2.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html#userguide Next, follow some more of Rob Allen's tutorials on ZF2: http://akrabat.com/category/zend-framework-2/ Evandotpro is also a very interesting individual to follow in this regard, especially since both Rob and him acutally work on ZF2: http://blog.evan.pro/ Last but not least, join the #zftalk IRC group ( http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=zftalk ) and don't be afraid to ask. Both Rob and Evan are often there and very approachable in answering questions. All that matters is that you don't give up - ZF2 will frustrate and annoy you to the brink of tears, but once you conquer it it's like learning to ride a bike - not only do you never forget it, but you also keep getting better at it without trying too hard.
