I just started 4 days ago to use Zend Framework together with Doctrine ORM.
To be honest it's very complicated to get started with it. I used the zend documentation,
http://framework.zend.com/manual/de/ for example the quick start guide.
There is an irc channel on freenode #zftalk@irc.freenode.net
In addition I googled a lot, there are some good answers here on stack overflow.
Sometimes it is good to search for "[what you wanna do] tutorial" this way you get quicker solutions, because the manual often does not give you the general overview, it just explains one or some components.
