This Zend Framework project was developed as a study case of a college monograph. The main purpose is to provide a simple Zend Framework application architecture using design patterns.

Introduction

This code provides a simple library rent application, with simple features just to provide samples of the implementation of the design patterns.

Design Patterns

There are five design patterns implemented in the application code base:

• Data Mapper
• Table Data Gateway
• Facade
• Simple Factory
• Observer

Besides that, there are also the design patterns included in Zend Framework code itself, but that was not included in the monograph focus.

To dos

The code itself must be refactored to use the Zend Framework best practices and to use the english language in the application code base.
