Software design patterns are recognized high level solutions to design problems and, as such,
are not a specific implementation of the solution. The actual implementation depends on the nature of the rest
of the design. The Zend Framework makes use of many design patterns and its implementation has been
carefully designed to allow the maximum flexibility for application developers without making them do too
much work!
The framework recognizes the PHP way and doesn??™t force you into using all the components, so you are
free to pick and choose between them. This is especially important as it allows you to introduce specific
components into an existing site. The key is that each component within the Framework has very few
dependencies on other components.
1.2.3 Easy to learn
If you are anything like me, learning how a vast body of code works is hard! Fortunately the Zend Framework
is modular and has a design goal of simplicity which makes it easy to learn, one step at a time. Each
component doesn??™t depend on lots of other components and so is easy to study. The design of each component
is such that you do not need to understand how it works in its entirety before you can use it and benefit from it.
Once you have some experience of using the component, building up to use the more advanced features is
straight-forward as it can be done in steps.
