Hello Zend Framework!
In chapter 2, we are going to look at a simple Zend Framework application that will display ???Hello World!???.
For a standard PHP application, the code to do this constitutes one line in one file:
As the Zend Framework requires many more files in order to create the foundation from which a full website
can be created. As a result, the code for our Hello World application may appear unnecessarily verbose as we
set the stage for the full blown website that will follow in the remainder of the book. We will also consider
how to organize the website??™s files on disk to make sure we can find what we are looking for and look at the
Zend Framework files required to create an application that uses the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design
pattern. Let??™s dive right in and look at what the Model-View-Controller design pattern is all about first.
