Juozas Kaziukėnas has posted the first part of a series about Zend Framework and Doctrine:

After evaluating possible solutions I decided to stay with Doctrine for a long time. I don’t know any other solution coming, I definitely don’t want (mainly because I don’t have time) to invest on creating my own library and Doctrine is simply awesome when you get used to it. After all this time I can say that it was a right call – Doctrine is on a way to being officially supported in Zend Framework

He then goes on to talk about the benefits of Doctrine and why it can save time. Well worth a read and following the rest of the series.

There’s an interesting post over on the mrBurly blog about using action delegates to avoid having duplicate controllers.

One weekend after two years of working with the Zend Framework I threw together a basic application by perfecting one LIST/CRUD controller and then performing your standard copy/paste grepWin replace to create 4 others from it. I may have sensed a better way before that day, but on that day it was obvious that a better way existed. That “better” way in my opinion is the… Delegation Pattern

Definitely well worth having a read.
