It is a very good introduction to the Zend Framework. Through the book, you build an example application that helps you with some of the main functionality provided by the ZF. Since the ZF is flexible in the way you can do things, it's nice to see a whole application laid out. I also like the way they've used the framework and the way they've organized their code.
However, the book itself has quite a few problems. A couple chapters seem out of order - for example, a chapter on Ajax comes before the DB management and Form chapters, but it uses ideas from both. The code in the book is terrible as well. It is full of typos and references to files that don't exist or haven't been created yet. It is basically impossible to code the application by following the examples in the book. You need to download the source code and follow it.

I have read other resources from the web that discusses topics presented in this book that incorporates better Zend Framework coding practices, some of which are even written by the book's author himself.
The contents are also somewhat outdated as of July 2011. Since the release of this book, strides have been made with the use of Zend_Application (major difference in bootstrapping), support for PHP 5.3, ControllerTestCase, and Zend_Cloud.

A very essential guide to those who want to learn Zend Framework and develop PHP web application using Zend Framework. This book are easy to be understood by newbie and advanced PHP developer. The required skill is just understanding the basic of PHP programming.

The documentation on Zend's site can be lacking. This book fills the gaps.
