July 26, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Zend Technologies (zend.com), which released PHP 5 last week, announced on Monday that it has launched the Zend PHP certification program, to be offered through the mobile testing facility it is hosting at The O'Reilly Open Source Convention on July 26-30 in Portland, Oregon.
The program covers curriculum criteria specified by the Zend PHP Education Advisory Board, an organization established by PHP experts to create a certification program that will set industry standards for recognizing and certifying PHP expertise. The PHP Education Advisory Board includes Marcus Boerger, John Coggeshall, Andi Gutmans, Martin Jansen, Daniel Kushner, Derick Rethans, George Schlossnagle, Damien Seguy, Chris Shiflett, David Sklar, Zeev Suraski, and Marco Tabini.
"Our mission at Zend is to provide the tools, resources and community that will make PHP viable for the enterprise," says Andi Gutmans, co-founder and vice president of technology at Zend. "As part of this effort, we want to ensure that developers have access to everything they will need to build robust, business-critical PHP applications. The Zend Certified Engineer credential helps developers get their resumes noticed, gain recognition from employers and differentiate themselves from non-certified developers."
Zend has also expanded its online resources for PHP developers with the introduction of the Zend Education Center, an online source where developers and employers can access PHP training resources, certification news and information on career development.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
