Rob Allen has some great news that Manning Publishing (of the popular "* in Action" series of books) has just announced - the future release of a book for the Zend Framework, Zend Framework in Action.

Chapter 1 is available for you to download and see where we are heading with the book. [...] In order to set expectations, I should probably point out that Zend Framework in Action is a tutorial book intended to show how to use the components of the framework together within "real world" projects.

Each component is dealt with in a "what is it?", "why use it?", "how do you use it?", "let's use it in the real world" manner. It's not an advanced exposition of each component as that would take many books!

Looks like a Great job done by Rob and Nick Lo so far - check out the first chapter and see what you think.
