Installing the Zend Framework, hosted by Mitchell Hashimoto (11:34)

Note: You may need to use use headphones or an amplified speaker setup for best sound reproduction. Make sure that your speakers are unmuted!

Bootstrapping, hosted by Mitchell Hashimoto (9:17)

Note: In this and the subsequent "Getting Started" screencasts, the public directory has been renamed to demo_app. They are the same directory for the purposes of these demos and you can use whichever you prefer. In summary: demo_app == public and is the "document root" directory where your publicly accessible files should be stored.
