I promise this is the only part of this website on which you will find any information about awkwardly shaped canaries.
Just helping a guy out, like last time.
Just how awkwardly can a canary be shaped, anyway? How about sausage-shaped canaries? Whale-shaped canaries?
Today I went through the crash course on Zend Certification by Christian Wenz. I met him before at an ApacheCon in either 2000 or 2001, I don’t remember. He’s a great speaker, and although the course was riddled with information, I think he did a good job going over everything he could in the 6 or so hours he had.
Tomorrow at 10am I go to take my certification test. The trick questions worry me, but I don’t think I’ll have too much trouble passing—I have been using PHP since version 3. I have a lot of C and C++ experience to call on, I just have to pay attention and not miss any of the small, tricky details.
It’s interesting how much PHP has evolved in the last few years. Today we talked about object oriented design patterns, something you just couldn’t really implement even in PHP v4.
