About the Author, Forrest Lyman

Forrest Lyman is a passionate PHP developer who concentrates on CMS development. He developed the Digitalus CMS on the Zend Framework, progressing from version 0.1 through 1.5. Once Zend FW reached its production release (1.0), Forrest released Digitalus as an open source project.

Over the course of the project he developed a wide range of sites based on the CMS, from small business sites to international nonprofit and university systems. Working hands on developing these sites with the Zend Framework has given Forrest a unique perspective into building extensible CMS systems with Zend FW.
