On the Zend Developer Zone today, there's an interview with the co-authors of the recently released book from php|architect, the Zend Certification Study Guide.

The new Zend Certification Study Guide is out and the initial reviews look good. Since this was a topic of interest to me (mainly because I've yet to take the test) I decided to dig a little deeper. I fired up my recorder and called Davey Shafik and Ben Ramsey, the authors of the new guide, to talk to them. Here to give you a little of the back story is our conversation.

They talk about:

• the release of the book
• some of the contents of the chapters (including the sample chapter on security)
• Davey's experience with the exam/Ben's use of his PHP4 certification in his work
• and the practice tests that php|architect is offering to get developers prepared.
