Zend Framework encourages the use of autoloading, and even initializes it by default in Zend_Application. Hopefully this tutorial provides you with the information you need to use Zend\Loader\Autoloader to its best advantage, as well as extend its capabilities by attaching custom autoloaders or resource autoloaders.
For more information on its usage, read the Zend\Loader\Autoloader <zend.loader.autoloader> and Zend\Loader\Autoloader\Resource <zend.loader.autoloader-resource> manual pages.
