Posted in php on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009. One comment so far

It’s great to see that PHP is gaining maturity lately. After the release of version 5.3 that have introduced namespaces, it’s now time for some of the biggest php projects to get together to discuss and agree on a common autoloader standard. This really nice project would allow interoperability between frameworks/projects.

I’ve talked about that before on this blog. Using Doctrine 1.1 with ZendFramework 1.8 and using both with ZFDebug. Now things will only get better as both project will officially play nice together. Here’s the announcement on the Zend Framework mailing list.

I now mainly develop web applications using the Zend Framework, but some years ago, I was really grumbling about it, for what I thought was over-engineered structure and useless MVC crap… things have changed since then…

Zend PHP 5 Certification

Posted in perso, php on Monday, June 15th, 2009. One comment so far

After seven years of PHP development, I was wondering what my skill level was. I was doubtful of the Zend PHP5 Certification test, but as it’s the only PHP certification that I was aware of, I’ve taken the test in downtown Ottawa. I’m not allowed to talk about any specifics of the exam, as I [...]
