yesterday i was extremely excited to take the ZCE certification(php), ive been studying and preparing for it for two months.
i read 3 books, parts of the php manual, and w3schools. i was really happy while studying and learning new stuff, i exposed myself to new fields ive never tried like XML, Streams and web services.
