How to prepare for Zend Framework certification?
When people ask me how to prepare for Zend Framework (ZF) certification, I usually say the following:
- You should already have real experience with ZF, or at least some of its components. This will give you an idea of the work of the framework as a whole, and you will be able to study those parts of the framework with which you are not familiar yet. ?)
- Download certification guide . This is a small review, so you should not expect him to fully explain all aspects of working with ZF. After reading it, you can get an idea of the topics and questions that will be on the exam, and accordingly you can see the documentation on the issues you are interested in. The work of each component is described in the Zend Framework Programmer's Reference . The handbook is very convenient, it makes it easy to find the documentation for the component of interest (for example, Zend_Acl, Zend_Auth, Zend_form) and in addition it contains a description of the ZF coding standard and ZF performance recommendations.
- If I don’t understand something, I often look into the Zend Framework source code. In some cases, reading the source code, you can get an idea of how the component works faster than through the documentation. In addition, you will understand how the ZF developers organize their code and get a more complete picture of how you can use the ZF architecture in your projects.
In addition to everything, Zend offers to complete the Zend Framework Certification Training program, so if you are accustomed to studying using a more formal methodology, this can help you. In my case, I began to understand how to work with components unfamiliar to me, deepened my knowledge of already familiar ones, and I became much more confident in using components of ZF.
Good luck to all.
