The Zend Developer Zone has posted the slides from two presentations that Wil Sinclair (of the Zend Framework team) has given at two different conferences lately - SD West and a San Francisco Meetup.

Wil Sinclair has been a busy man of late. In addition to getting ready for the 1.5 release of Zend Framework and recording a podcast with me, he has taken the time to present 2 different presentations on Zend Framework.

The presentation from SD West was titled Web 2.0: Building Rich Internet Applications with PHP and the one presented to the Meetup group, Zend Framework 1.5 Latest Features
