Zend Framework + ExtJS - Building Agile Applications

This is a set of examples showing you how to do various things with the powerful combination of Zend Framework (PHP) and ExtJS (Javascript MVC) including:

• Making a basic ExtJS MVC application
• Working with widgets
• Using Layouts
• User authentication
• Unit testing your ExtJS apps

These examples also include a more complete application (example9), a multi-user chat application.

This is a part of a presentation given at the Dutch PHP Conference 2012 (http://phpconference.nl).
