The Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero equals 1. That is:

\[
a^0 = 1 \quad \text{for any } a \neq 0.
\]

In your expression, you have:

\[
2.3 + (-1.478)^0.
\]

Applying the Zero Power Rule:

\[
(-1.478)^0 = 1,
\]

since \(-1.478\) is non-zero. Now, substituting this back into the original expression:

\[
2.3 + 1.
\]

Now, we can perform the addition:

\[
2.3 + 1 = 3.3.
\]

Therefore, the final answer is:

\[
\boxed{3.3}.
\]
