The aim of ZK Essentials is to provide a step by step resource for a developer which addresses the creation of a substantial application using ZK. Each chapter navigates a particular ZK topic and details in context of the application why certain choices and implementation techniques were chosen over others.

The book chooses a shopping cart driven application as a platform to explore ZK. By the end of this book we should have absorbed enough knowledge of ZK techniques and practices to implement a custom web application.

The book starts off by introducing ZK and its architecture then moves into the creation of the application.
