The Zend Developer Zone has posted one of the older webinars from Zend's "Webinar Wednesday" series to give you a taste of what they're like - Bill Karwin talking about the Zend Framework's database access functionality.

Zend sponsors Webinars every Wednesday covering a wide variety of topics of interest to PHP programmers. If you look over on the left sidebar [of the Zend Developer Zone site], you'll see the last five that have been published.

You can also keep up with the latest webinars by befriending the webinarzend user on Twitter. The next PHP-related webinar is coming up on July 2ns and will cover PHP security (Kevin Schroeder presenting).

For those that weren't able to be in attendance for Zend's last Webinar webcast, "Zend Framework 1.0 - An Overview", they've now posted the presentation to their Webinar page:

In this webinar, Bill Karwin, Product Engineering Manager, will provide an overview of the design philosophy, the major components of the framework and its future directions. Topics will cover MVC, Search, Data Access, Web Services, Filter, Authentication, Cache and more. Tune in to learn more about the value Zend Framework can offer your web project.

You'll need Flash to check it out and it's a little over an hour long (1 hr 15 min), narrated by Bill Karwin.
