Intro to Modules in ZF2
summary
Explains ZF2 modules as simple folders with a Module.php class exposing methods like getAutoloaderConfig, getConfig, init and onBootstrap, loaded by an event-driven ModuleManager. Covers Phar packaging (prefer non‑compressed .phar/.tar), Composer/vendor install, PSR-0 src layout, cached three-step config merge, lazy service loading via ServiceManager, and real-world modules (zfc-user, scn-social-auth) used to compose an app (~35 commerce modules). Advises modules be read‑only, do one job, and avoid writes inside packaged modules.
