Question

I know its still in beta, but I so want to try it already and create a project and lunch it.

So a quick question, is it production safe?

Answer 1

If you’re not releasing for some months, then ZF2 is very viable. Up till now, it has been okey to work with as well. Quoting:

This is the fifth and last in a series of planned beta releases. The
beta release cycle has followed the “gmail” style of betas, whereby
new features have been added in each new release, and backwards
compatibility (BC) has not been guaranteed. The desire has been for
developers to adopt and work with new components as they are shipped,
and provide feedback so we can polish the distribution.

so for each release, we have had to modify some small stuff. But this is almost just “setup-code” and no big changes to our controllers or view scripts.

And now this will be even better:

At this time, we anticipate few if any BC breaks between now and the
first release candidate (RC). Applications built today on beta5 will
operate in the way we expect them to for the stable release.

so grab ZF2 now if you will need to learn it anyway some day. If you’re only building one single application and need to ship it fast, I think ZF1 would be a better choice.
