I haven’t had time to check the blog during the last couple of months. I just managed to complete my certification few weeks ago, I have posted my preparations for the exam in this post

I’ve been working with the Internet for 15 years and have been programming whenever the need has come up but I’ve found that I’ve had no trouble doing what I needed to do. I’ve always done what was needed to solve a given problem but never have specialized.

My business has shut down recently and I’m planning on getting my Zend Certification. I was searching for study resources and found your interesting blog. I am sure that you are very busy and you don’t know me but I am wondering if you can give me a specific idea of what level the exams are at.

Currently I program in PHP and have been able to do everything I’ve ever needed to do. I am new to classes and inheritance though. I’ve worked with MySQL always and use so many different references. I haven’t memorized hundreds of global functions and I really am nervous about the exam. I am in a situation that has left me with very little money so I hate to purchase the exam before I’m ready. Do you think someone who builds applications without using Zend Framework MVC and who doesn’t use objects from classes can get to the required level? I expect I can but I am just very nervous. I’ve integrated some of Zend Framework’s modules into applications and have worked on several projects in PHP

If you have any thoughts please pass them on.

Sincerely, and thank you in advance if you have time
