(^270) CHAPTER 17 ■ THE ZEND FRAMEWORK APPLIED
Just the Facts
In this chapter, you learned about the Zend Framework’s internal operation, and how to create
modules, model libraries, plug-ins, helpers, and layouts.
A Conventional Modular Directory Structure allows you to use modules. You can also create a
custom component library and add this library to your bootstrap so the framework can auto-
matically load your classes.
The framework request cycle consists of various routing and dispatching events. You can
create custom controller plug-ins, action helpers, and view helpers.
The Zend_Layout component allows you to create a site with a common look and feel.
This completes the Zend Framework part of this book. To continue learning about the
Zend Framework, read the framework reference documentation and the mailing list archives.
