Zend Framework in Action (book)
 

Hi
I finally decided to learn Zend Framework and got this book:
Zend Framework in Action (manning) 2007 edition.
I know that in 2008 (September) they will make a new edition hopefully covering 1.5 version.
My question is those who read it, is it worth reading it? Will things work in 1.5 version? I really have no idea of the changes in v. 1.5 so that's why I'm asking.
I saw some codes making a call to LoadClass('module'), other that just included the module file and run it directly, are those different methods of doing the same thing or those are version differences?
Thanks.

Hi,

I'm the main author of Zend Framework in Action, so am probably a bit biased! I can say that the book does cover Zend Framework 1.5 though.

In terms of loading classes, Zend Framework provides a loader class called Zend_Loader which also has an autoload component. With v1.5, autoloading is quite quick and so becomes worth using.
