Mike Naberezny has posted a PDF of an article that he did for php|architect magaine back in their April 2006 issue - Introducing Zend Framework.

You've probably heard the buzz surrounding the Zend Framework's initial release. You may even have read php|architect's online tutorial. In this piece, Zend staffer and Zend Framework contributing developer Mike Naberezny gives insight into the framework's beginnings, and dives in to a tutorial on how to start using the Zend Framework, today.

The article looks at both the overall picture of the Zend Framework, including the goals of the framework and how you can get started with your own simple site - code and all.
