Started to learn Zend
I have a couple of projects to do which involve fairly dissimilar functions but I thought it would be a good idea to use a framework rather than rely on my rather poor code. I have always been able to get my code to work but I am sure it was always open to SQL injections and ways around my validation but they did work and were never really put out in the wild with thousands of people to use.
But things have changed now, and I have 2 major projects to do with another in the pipeline.
The first is a bespoke event registration system with event profiles to allow a whole magnitude of differing events with all the events being linked up to each users account. In practice this is fairly easy, but there are so many different bits of politics etc make it a nightmare, as well as being my first incorporation of SSL and secure payments over the Internet.
I will try to update the blog as much as possible with my progress as well as hints and tips that I find useful that may help others progress their Zend skills.
