PHP Certified Developers

I’ve been preparing for the past few months to take the Zend certification for PHP. However I’ve been busy as well with client projects but I plan to take it this year. Here is an interesting chart on the growth of PHP Certified Developers through the years. The growth of PHP developers have been phenomenal due to developing applications on open source environment LAMP(Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) has always been cheaper alternative, but with the numbers of PHP developers growing there has not been a significant growth for those getting themselves PHP certified.

Here is a slide chart courtesy from a research made by Prof. Mauricio Garcia F. Nascimento from Sao Paulo

With the U.S. leading with 1,047 PHP Certified Developers based on 2009.

And from 2004-2008 only 15 are PHP Certified from the Philippines. I want to belong in that company soon this year. So back to studying again.
