I came across this interesting proposal for an application generator built on top of the Zend Framework. It is called Primitus and is the brainchild of John Coggeshall. It looks very interesting and could quiet down those that complain about Zend Framework not living up to the ease of use they imagined it would. I’ve heard all too many people think that ZF should be as easy to use as Rails. In many ways I agree and this could provide that hand holding many want. Of course, those that still want more flexibility can use ZF without this (or another) application generator. You’ll find a first release of Primitus at the end of the propoal.
