I recently found the following video at Sara Golemon’s blog:

It just shows that all the outrageous conspiracy theories that were pushed in movies like Zeitgeist, Zeitgeist Addendum, End Game and others are probably mostly real.

After 8 years of presidency, George W Bush was able to bring USA into crisis, 2 never-ending wars, the World into recession and crisis, Bin Laden free and well and a whole bunch of other out-crying problems.

Zend Certified Engineer: PHP5 (ZCE 200-500)

Posted: January 16th, 2009 | Author: Mihai Bojin | Filed under: Certification, General, PHP, Web | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , | 24 Comments »

From this day on I can proudly say that I am a PHP5 Zend Certified Engineer.

php5-zce-logo-new Zend Certified Engineer: PHP5 (ZCE 200-500)I took the ZCE 200-500 exam today at a Pearson-Vue authorized testing center, Provision Romania, after registering online, just a business day before.

I have read the Zend PHP5 Certification Study Guide from PHP Architect and I also bought the Practice Exam Pack with 10 questions (I used only 3 tests to prepare). If you want to take the same road as me, I suggest you get the Zend PHP5 Certification Bundle as you’ll save some money in the process.

I have to say I am not an expert in all areas covered by the ZCE exam, but I manage very well in all of them.

The Practice Exam Pack did help me in getting in the state of mind needed for the exam. Also I came across a few things which I would have missed in the real exam, had it not been for a few tricky / theoretical questions.

The problem is that these practice tests are not enough to prepare you for the real exam. I found a few tricky questions including printf parameters and SoapClient / SoapServer usage that were not in the Practice Tests, but I also observed that the XML coverage is emphasized in the PHPArch Practice Tests.

I learned some things I didn’t know in PHP after reading the Study Guide and I recommend reading it as it is a very good book even if you are not preparing for the ZCE exam.

Overall it was not the hardest exam I took and I managed to finish the whole 70 questions (plus review them) in around 1 hour more or less.

I do not know how the ZCE Certification will help my career, but I am happy and proud to be a member of the ZCE Group and I am the 29th certified ZCE in Romania. I am also the second Romanian person to obtain the ZCE in 2009, followed only after a few hours later by Ionut Voda.

 

If you’re a Romanian from Bucharest, Romania (or just passing by) I strongly recommend Provision Security Training as they were very professional and the process of getting Zend Certified was as simple as possible !

 

If you have any questions about the ZCE exam or anything PHP related, post them in the comments section and I will try to answer them the best I can !

Good luck if you’re preparing to apply for the ZCE exam !
