从ZendFramework 1或2开始？ [关闭]

Question

I developed in PHP for a long time without a framework, I just use PDO for help me with connection database. But now I decided to learn about Zend Framework to increase my productivity, to avoid repetitious code.

I work with Java WEB too, (Hibernate/JPA + JSF + Spring + Maven) that make my work more easy and organized, and I would like to bring it to PHP too.

So my big doubt is: I should starting with ZendFramework 1 or ZendFramework 2? I saw a lot of companies requiring knowledge about ZendFramework 1.

Answer 1

Zend Framework 1 is a dying product. It is the older Version of the Framework and Version 2 has already being developed with Version 3 being on it's way for later 2014 / early 2015 approximately. The reason for companies still requiring ZF1 knowledge is due to their old codebase.

Many companies are starting to re-write their products using newer frameworks to gain the advantages of the newer ones.

With this in mind: clearly go for ZF2 (or any other new fully OOP/MVC Framework). Once you master it, you'll be able to read ZF1 code just as well and you can easily adapt into any other Framework that your company may require.
