But what I really liked in zephyr is the PHP5 support, usage of ADODB and smarty, but specially its excellent and easy documentation.
Installation and deployment of packages that you develop for zephyr is hassle free. moreover you will get all the features of most popular templating engine "smarty" and powerfull data access layer "adoDB". lets go thru the documentation process to discover how easy is to develop an ajax application using zephyr framework.
