Make sure you read the ZF2 Git Guide (http://bit.ly/zf2gitguide). CS is
mostly the same, with the following changes:

* Non-public members no longer require a leading underscore
* Interfaces should be well-named, as either an adjective or noun, and
should *not* contain the word "Interface".
* Abstract classes should be prefixed with the word "Abstract".
* All components should be namespaced.

With web services, many have not yet been converted to ZF2 (those which
have not prior to beta will be removed!!!!). The conventions are
basically the same as before, except that we're no longer using a static
HTTP client across all service instances.

Re: Re: [fw-webservices] Zend_Service_Chargify proposal

Thanks for the great feedback.

At first glance it looks like Zend_Payment is meant to be an adapter to
the various gateways whereas Chargify sits between your app and the
payment gateway. I'll get in touch with the Varien folks for their
thoughts on a Chargify adapter. I'd definitely be willing to help.

I have a little catching up to do on the state/direction of ZF2. Other
than PHP 5.3 are there any other requirements or conventions I should be
aware of, especially with regards to web services?

Thanks,

-Dan

You should announce on the zf-contributors mailing list when you want
community review; after a period of a week or two, send an email to
zf-crteam@zend.com, and ask for a formal review for inclusion.

I don't know of any good CSS only way (not using javascript) to
automatically size the columns; however, if you know the max width, you can
set that as the default.

Generally, all you need to do is wrap the label and the input inside a
containing div for each row. The label will be set to float left and display
block.

Google up "Table-less Forms" for more detailed info.

Forgive my ignorance on this, but I don't know how to make CSS do the same
thing a table would do--specifically, to have two columns that are
automatically sized to fit the width of the widest item in that column, and
with the right column starting at the right boundary of the left column.

I've been doing some searching on this and haven't been able to find a way
to do this. Could you send me to an explanation or briefly explain how you
would accomplish this? I'm always looking to improve my CSS knowledge.
