Zend PHP5 Certified Engineer
After finishing my school and getting my diploma, I wan't expecting me to take any more exams...
However; a couple of weeks ago I've took the Zend PHP 5 Certification exam. This is a test for PHP developer on how well they know PHP programming and other PHP related items.
And guess what; I've passed! I just got my certificate in the mail, and I can now call myself a Zend Certified Engineer (ZCE). I know it doesn't make my a better programmer, but it sure looks good on my résumé.
Where did all of the old songs updates go?
I haven't updated this website in half a year, so I owe you all an update:
After I've got my bachelors degree last summer, I've started working for CARE Internet Services, a small web development company in Eindhoven. There I've been further developing a PHP 5 framework and a Content Management System, and I have been working on several websites, like the latest for Bastion Hotel Groep.
Working a full time job and taking some personal time, doesn't leave much room for Charming Design activities, so lately there haven't been any new projects from me. I've just been keeping busy maintaining the ZV Hydra website, and providing support for all other websites. I am however silently working on a couple of redesigns for existings websites, but there is not much to tell so far. I'll try and keep you updated!
