      <description><![CDATA[<p>
Both <i>Robert Basic</i> and <i>Ekerete</i> (on the Avnet Labs site) have posted reviews of one of the more recent offerings from Packt Publishing on development with the Zend Framework - <a href="http://www.packtpub.com/zend-framework-1-8-web-application-development/book">Zend Framework 1.8 Web Application Development</a>.
</p>
<p>
In <a href="http://robertbasic.com/blog/zend-framework-18-web-application-development-book-review/">Robert's review</a> he talks about some of the usual concerns with Packt books (the poor quality of the writing) and looks at the contents of some of the chapters - walking you through the process of building a sample application. He's recommend the book to those just starting out with the Zend Framework.
</p>
<p>
On the Avnet Labs site <i>Ekerete</i> agrees with most of <i>Robert</i>'s comments but <a href="http://avnetlabs.com/zend-framework/zend-framework-1-8-web-application-development-book-review">disagrees</a> on a few points the author made on recommended ways to handle things like the application's models.
