Hello ae1080 👋🏻 and welcome!

If you’re looking for the “old” Zend Framework, I can recommend the [books](https://www.ralfeggert.de/#publications) by @Ralf_Eggert. There are other publications, too, but I have not read them.

As for Laminas, I am not aware of any published book. I believe @settermjd is working on one. If you want, you could get in touch with him, if you’re interested in an early access.

My personal goto place is the [official documentation](https://docs.laminas.dev/), which provides both tutorials and a documentation for each component. If something is not clear, I usually look at the code or ask for help either here in the forum or in the [chat](https://laminas.dev/chat).

Cheers,  
Andi

I have one, called [Mezzio Essentials](https://transactions.sendowl.com/products/624496/F3AF9449/view). It’s not directly targetted at Laminas, rather at Mezzio, if you’re interested. Thanks for the support, @arueckauer!!
