Yesterday ive ordered the Zend PHP5 Certification Bundle. After printing out the Learning Guide ( get it on PHP]Architect’s Zend PHP 5 Certification Study Guide + Zend PHP Certification Practice Test Book – Practice Questio) ive started to read it. There are about 290 sites of Informations about PHP5, XML, MySQL etc. to learn for the exam.

I hope i got the time to attend the exam this year and make the Zend Framework Certification in the next year.
