Great news. Congrats Matt on the new promotion i couldn't vote for someone who could do a better job then you. After having both certificates from Zend i can tell a single thing about Zend as a programmer, You guys certainly know how to address the market and decide on the right products line to make software development an easier task for corporate and private companies as one.
Keep the great work, Looking forward on helping out with the upcoming releases with Zend Framework. And participating my first ZendCon (Once it gets to Israel. if it does anytime soon :) ). -- Vincent Gabriel. Lead Developer, Senior Support. Zend Certified Engineer.
