Quick Start for Zend Framework 2
summary
Zend Framework 2 demonstrates a modular MVC that uses an event manager for routing/dispatch/render lifecycle and a service manager for fast, explicit dependency wiring; Zend DI remains available but reflection-based DI proves slower and harder to debug. The skeleton app boots via Composer or Pyrus, modules are self-contained (config, src, view, public), controllers are services, and removing the CLA plus GitHub migration yields over 100 contributors within months while benchmark work shows measurable performance gains.
