I did another catch-up show, this time with Keith Murphy (last chatted with in August 2007). Keith talks a bit about his new book, the MySQL Administrator’s Bible, his new Open Source Database Magazine (coming out soon) and some of the new developments in the MySQL camp.

Getting Started with the Zend Framework and WAMP Server
This Father’s day, zendcasts is doing 2 videos back to back! There’s been a bit of talk in the comments about how to setup the Zend Framework on Windows. Thankfully, Tawfek Daghistani took some initiative and put together this short piece on setting up WAMP Server with Zend.
For a first time doing a screencast, it’s pretty solid! The text is a bit hard to read, but luckily you can follow along with the source code. If you want all his files, just grab the zipped version.
Thanks Tawfek!

Introducing Zend_Acl
There’s been a lot of talk on Twitter about doing some videos about Zend_Acl, so by popular demand, here’s part 1 of a 2 part series about Zend_Acl.
I’m going to do this with the unit testing framework we setup in the last video tutorial so that I can focus on the meat of Zend_Acl and its power.
If you don’t have unit testing setup locally, feel free to grab the source here, or a zipped version of the project.

Unit Testing with the Zend Framework with Zend_Test and PHPUnit
I have to preface this video by saying that I’m still a bit of a novice when it comes to unit testing (especially in Zend). Also, I feel that I wouldn’t be able to take credit for the whole implementation.
Here are some great resources on unit testing in the Zend Framework to beef up your knowledge.
The trouble with these is that they’re mostly pre-1.8. I’ve taken the approach of using a command line instead of the IDE since this way it doesn’t matter if you’re using Zend Studio for Eclipse.
What’s covered:
- Using phpunit with MAMP
- Unit Testing Models
- Generating Code Coverage Reports
- Unit Testing Controllers
Don’t forget to grab the source code or browse it on google code.

Zend_Navigation – creating a menu, a sitemap and breadcrumbs
This tutorial covers a lot of the basic use cases wutg Zend_Navigation. Using a uri-based navigation.xml file, we generate a very simple menu system as well as a breadcrumb with some basic information. In the last 3 minutes I cover how to get a Google compliant sitemap from the navigation.xml file. This video is by no means exhaustive, but should get you up and running with Zend_Navigation in the Zend Framework.
Browse the code off google code or download a zip here.
On another note, I’m thinking of putting together a forum as a way of organizing some of the informative discussion I’ve found in the comments section. I know other forums exist so I’d be curious to know if you think zendcasts would benefit from such a thing.
Alternatively, if you have topics you’d like covered and are willing to step up to the mic, I’d love to share your own screencasts with the now over 550 subscribers!
