• Framework Overview
• Benefits of using Framework
• Getting Started
  • Installation (Skeleton App)
  • File/Code Structure
  • Modules
  • Controllers, Views, Routing
  • Database and Models
  • Filters
  • Service Manager
    • Factory based instantiation
  • Session Container
• Dependency Injection

“A Framework is a universal, reusable software platform to develop software applications, products and solutions. In other words, we can say it is some kind of library, a piece of software, which provide web developers with code base and consistent standardized ways of creating web applications”.

1. Code and File Organization
2. Enforcing of Good Coding Standards
3. Utilities and Libraries
4. Less Code & Faster Development
5. Community Support
6. Security

7. Modular, use what you need, ignore what you don’t

8. Strong use of OOP and Design Patterns for Consistency

Session Container: https://framework.zend.com/manual/2.4/en/modules/zend.session.container.html

A module is a software component or part of a program that contains one or more routines. One or more independently developed modules make up a program. An enterprise-level software application may contain several different modules, and each module serves unique and separate business operations.

Dependency injection (Di) is a design pattern which purpose is to reduce the coupling between software components.

• Allow to programmatically configure dependencies.
• Use to easily apply Inversion Of Control.
• Creates and stores instances of your objects: an instance manager.
