Just thought I would update the progress of the book, I am now on the final two chapters and the 1st draft version should be complete in about 3 weeks YAY!
I have been busy updating the Storefront over the weekend, which now has been optimized for the performance chapter and includes Model caching (which I hope is working....)
Anyway I will leave you with a nice little Ant Task for removing the require_once statements from the Zend library :)
<target name="deploy">
<echo message="---- Removing require_once ----" />
<replaceregexp byline="true">
<regexp pattern="require_once 'Zend/"/>
<substitution expression="// require_once 'Zend/"/>
<fileset dir="${basedir}/library/Zend" excludes="**/*Autoloader.php" includes="**/*.php" />
</replaceregexp>
</target>

Just a quick note that I have now merged the Zend_Application try branch into the trunk of the Storefront project, this should now work with the 1.8 preview release.

I have been busy getting chapter 6 out the door for a while now, and as part of this I have been trying out the Zend_Application prototype in the ZF svn.
I now have a fully working version of the Storefront using Zend_Application, the storefront itself is still unfinished but I though I would post a link to the new source in case anyone
was wanting to try it…
Zend_Application Try Branch
All in all I am very happy with the way Zend_Application works, it has enabled me to lose a lot of my own library code! Which makes things much easier.
Quick Install Notes
You will need to checkout the trunk incubator and the Zend_Application user branch.
Inside the library folder:
svn co http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/incubator/library Incu
svn co http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/branches/user/dasprid/Zend_Application/library Zapp
These are then added to the include_path in application/application.php, you will also need to patch the Zend_Application files using the ZApp_Zend.diff included in the branch, these are just some minor changes I need to do to get things working with the storefront and some minor bugs, remember it is a prototype! (run the patch from within the Zapp folder)
