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

The book chooses a shopping cart application as a platform to explore ZK. By the end of this book you should be able to gather enough information about 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.
