I was with PHP for last 4 years. During this long period I learned PHP and its related technology in my own way. As a self learner my approach was mainly based on problem solving. When I faced a problem I tried to solve this and dig this. Most of the problem I solved in my own way with the gathered knowledge, as a result the solution was not that much solid & efficient. But they worked without any pain.

During the last year I learned most of the cutting edge technologies of PHP-MySQL development and web standards.

I never think myself as a sound PHP-MySQL developer but a PHP-MySQL lover. I was always thinking of being a ZEND Certified PHP programmer. But I could not find the right way of getting me prepared for exam. You know exam is different than practical, here you need a lot of theoretical knowledge.

But it’s good for me that I have started preparation for ZEND exam. Thanks to Masud Bhai, who gave me the PHP|Architect’s ZEND PHP5 Certification study guide. Thank also goes to www.scribd.com from where I have collected lots of Book for PHP, MySQL, Linux, Web 2.0, AJAX and web Security etc…

And my book collection is increasing day by day. Hope I will disclose all the books in a post when it will be completed.

During this period I learnt lots about web security & password security in PHP. I am writing a complete class for secure user login and hope I will share the class with all.

Wish I will sit for ZEND Exam ASAP.
