cooking up the offense like he's cooking ravioli

I saw today that Zend has released its Framework for download. I guess I don’t really know where to start playing with it. I am most excited for ZendXmlRpc, ZendPdf, ZendJson, ZendInputFilter and maybe ZendFeed. I also am curious how ZendController and Zend_View work. I have played with MVC’s before and ended up not really liking them because they were too restrictive. With Zend’s, I like that it says you can use a third-party template engine (like Smarty, maybe). I hope they get SVN access working soon. It will make it a lot easier to update the framework as they add new components.

I plan to play around with it and see what I can get working. I will keep you posted.
