Hey, congratulations. I’ve been contemplating purchasing their A-Zend training program and going for this one myself. I’ve not really dealt with frameworks before, but I’ve been amateur coding PHP for about the last two or three years now and I’m ready to take the next step. You’re awesome, man!

Thanks.
@Anthony: I purchased five practice exams from the Zend.com website for about $20, but that is as far as studying went. I took three of them and passed with flying colors so I assumed I was ready to go. When I got in for the official exam, it was bit tougher than the practices, but I got it done all the same.
I recommend purchased at least one practice exam from Zend.com to see where your weak points are at, and you should study those. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me.

Couldn’t find any other place to comment on this, but just wanted to say that your Zend Framework screencasts are awesome.
Great resource! Keep up the good work!

I concur with Jimmy. Great job on the Zend Framework screencasts! I found it very helpful and well explained. Thanks! And congrats on getting certified!

More praise regarding the Zend Framework tutorials from me, great work! Are you going to be making more screencasts for other components of ZF? You seem to get straight to the point and keep it simple rather than bombarding the viewer with jargon.
Thanks again

From the perspective of your target audience (like me) Your work couldn’t be more succinct
Kudos!!!
I’ve recently been stumbling around with php only to find the language to be so “simple stupid” I tend to over complicate things.
Couldn’t agree more, tutorials by example as you have done have taught me more in the last 1/2 an hour than I could have read from now till April reading about it…..
Well done!

Hello Mitch,
Your ZF video tutorials are amazing, great stuff. Please keep us updated with the upcoming tutorials. I would really like to see form interaction with database, how to handle views (cases like looping structures), etc.
Thanks a lot!
