The reference guide does feel a bit abstract for me, i first have to find a tutorial that explains what a component does and how to incorporate it into a real example, then i read the reference guide about what methods are available, then i google to find out how to actually use the method... The #zftalk channel helps a bit but half of the time i just fail to find the info i need to make any headway.

Zf looks very good and thought thru but it will be hard to use it for anything other than personal projects because i cant even estimate the googling hours needed to use it for a consulting project.

Still i think its well worth learning, are there any good books that cover zf1.5 on the horizon?
