Nope.

Recently started using Zend FrameWork. It is quite hard to get use to, but I can definitely see the benefits once the developer is familiar with the style.

I've always found Zend to be quite slow (in execution of code) compared to CodeIgniter. Magento is a good example of a slow zend based application. I do love Magento though.

magento started off as based on the ZF, but ended up rewriting almost everything, badly. They use about two components of the framework and that's it. ZF projects can be as every bit as performant as with any other framework - depends on the experience level you have with it.

I think though the OP was referring to training by Zend, the PHP company and not about one of its products. I could be mistaken though.

Slowness comes from file loading, Magento uses more files and is thus slow. Magento also suffers from ripple loading, stuff thats in a loop that is causing tasks to be executed N times instead of once, etc... ( they are slowly improving over time though )

Yeah, the training the offer. I am thinking about taking the advanced course. Depending on how that goes, maybe the Zend Framework one. I am slowly figuring out how to use ZF, and once I get something working with it, it is awesome. Especially Zend_Db.

So if anyone has taken any of the Zend PHP 5 training, let me know how it went.
