Magento Development Time Frame

Begin by selecting the Zend Framework, and creating the core team.

Magento Beta released

Magento 1.0 released

Magento 1.1 released

Magento is a PHP5 Application

• OO support (Encapsulation, Interfaces, Static Methods etc…)

• PHP5 adoption?

Apr 12, 2023 | 38 |

The good old days Prior to Magento we were using an in-house developed frame-work (PHP4).

Problems:

• Specifying hiring criteria when it comes to developers.

• Long training process due to lack of documentation and training materials.

• Collaborating with other companies on big projects was a nightmare.

• Maintaining and Supporting our framework without a large community was hard both in allocating resources and without a large “collective wisdom” support

• Many different coding styles

Apr 12, 2023 | 39 |

Selecting the Zend Framework

So let’s select a framework:• Akelos

• Ash.MVC

• CakePHP

• Codelgniter

• DIY

• eZ Components

• Fusebox

• PHP on TRAX

• PHPDevShell

• PHPOpenbiz

• Prado

• Pronto

• QPHP

• Seagull

• Symfony

• ZOOP

Not an easy thing to do!!!

Apr 12, 2023 | 40 |


So why Zend Framework?

• Zend, as commercial company behind it.

• A clear roadmap and transparency.

• Widespread community support.

• A wealth of documentation and training.

• A use-at-will architecture

• Licensing (New BSD)

Apr 12, 2023 | 41 |


• Zend_Acl

• Zend_Cache

• Zend_Currency

• Zend_Date

• Zend_Db (Pdo_Mysql)

• Zend_Feed

• Zend_Http (Response model)

• Zend_Locale

• Zend_Log

Apr 12, 2023 | 42 |


Zend Framework Components used in Magento

•Zend_Translate

•Zend_Validate

We plan to use in future versions of Magento
