Ibuildings partners with PHP|Architect

I was already quite proud when I got the possibility to work at Ibuildings. They've shown to be (one of) the most professional PHP companies in the Netherlands, and after they partnered with Zend, it all became even more interesting. Now, I am even more proud to work for Ibuildings; they just announced a partnership with PHP|Architect.

Ibuildings is a very professional company, with an enormous amount of high quality developers with the right mindset. I can not think of another company in The Netherlands (and probably also the UK) that has such a wonderful team of people. Great, skilled developers, consultants, project managers. Our partnership with Zend supports the claim that Ibuildings are the PHP Professionals.

For years, I've been following PHP|architect. Their magazine, their books and lately also their trainings are quite impressive. And it's really a perfect match for Ibuildings, so it didn't really come as a surprise when I heard that Ibuildings was partnering with PHP|Architect. It really is supposed to be. It strengthens the portfolio of Ibuildings and confirms the status of being the PHP Professionals. And for PHP|Architect it gives a very good, strong presence in Europe.

Of course, looking at it from outside of Ibuildings, for instance in my role as secretary of the Dutch PHP Usergroup, I also look at this very positively. All PHP|Architect products are very high-quality, supporting the developer in gaining more knowledge of PHP and best practices. Having those products gaining a stronger presence in our region is a very positive thing. Excellent.
