This concludes our brief look at building a simple, but fully functional, MVC application using Zend Framework 2.
In this tutorial we but briefly touched quite a number of different parts of the framework.
The most important part of applications built with Zend Framework 2 are the modules <zend.module-manager.intro>, the building blocks of any MVC ZF2 application <zend.mvc.intro>.
To ease the work with dependencies inside our applications, we use the service manager <zend.service-manager.intro>.
To be able to map a request to controllers and their actions, we use routes <zend.mvc.routing>.
Data persistence, in most cases, includes using Zend\\Db <zend.db.adapter> to communicate with one of the databases. Input data is filtered and validated with input filters <zend.input-filter.intro> and together with Zend\\Form <zend.form.intro> they provide a strong bridge between the domain model and the view layer.
Zend\\View <zend.view.quick-start> is responsible for the View in the MVC stack, together with a vast amount of view helpers <zend.view.helpers>.
