It took longer than expected to prepare this weeks Chapter (or Appendix rather!) but it’s finally available as part of the free Zend Framework: Surviving The Deep End book online at http://www.survivethedeepend.com.

This week’s chapters explores some of the performance issues and tactics worth being aware of when developing Zend Framework, and indeed other, applications. It’s a rather long piece of work but I hope it proves enlightening. Comments are, as usual, welcome and you can attach them to any paragraph in need of attention.

In the next day or two I’ll push Chapter 3 about The Model (a topic I pre-emptively released here a few weeks back) to the online book.

Special thanks to those who have commented on the book so far – remember that no comment is too small or petty!

As comments roll in and I read the appendix myself a few times, I’ll compile a list of additional pointers worth adding in a future edit.
