Is the book, Zend Framework: The Official Programmer's Reference Guide, base on ZF version 1.9?

This is not an official response, as I would have to find confirmation.

If I had to guess, it was based on 1.8 strickly looking at the release
date, and what I know about publishing timelines.  Either way, this is a
good thing.  1.8 offered up Zend_Application, which IMO rounds out what
a proper project (MVC based application should look and act like). The
1.9 features, which while awesome, you can certainly catch up on by
reading the online documentation.

Either way, I'll ask around and find out exactly what its based on.

And... I was wrong, it IS actually based on *1.9.3*.

Hope that helps!

OMG!!! An up-to-date ZF book? How is this possible? Quick, buy it and read it at once before it's too late (-: !

I think, it is just the online manual as printout.
Any one knows, if I am right?

Yes -- it uses the docbook sources from 1.9.3.

Yours for just US$43.45 (plus shipping). What a deal.

Does this book have anything more than the Programmer's Reference
Guide (http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/)? I sure hope so or else
what's the point? And way too expensive.

The question is probably, "Do you want a hard copy?". If yes, it's going to cost you a fair amount of money to print it out yourself, and it won't be bound, or have an index, or anything else.

It will also be outdated pretty quick.

Pardon my OT, but you know what title I would like to see, either as hard-copy and/or a collaborative web-based project:  The Zend Framework Cookbook. We already have a good reference manual and a plethora of articles and tutorials, but we don't have a collection of "recipes," relatively short lessons that concentrate on a particular problem and its solution(s). There have been a couple of really good books in this format, like the PHP Cookbook and the MySQL Cookbook. A ZF Cookbook would be a great addition to any serious cook's bookshelf.
