Carsten Lucke has has mentioned a new article he wrote that's in the latest issue of t3n-Magazin covering the Zend Framework.

I wrote an introductory article on the Zend Framework for the german t3n-Magazin. It is published in issue #11 and covers all the stuff you should know, to get started with the Zend Framework.

It includes some basic knowledge of the request processing the framework does, how the MVC pattern works, a look at some of the components and an introduction to renderers and helpers.
