Obsidian Systems is partnering with the PHP company, Zend.
Zend will bring PHP products to the enterprise market in SA, says Muggie van Staden, MD of Obsidian.
"There are three major programming languages in wide use in the Internet today," explains Van Staden. "They are Java, .Net and PHP. Zend is committed to making PHP business-ready and providing solutions that help PHP developers and users."
Says Amir Yampel, director of channels for Zend: "The South African market is important to us. We understand the dependence on, and growth of, open source within the region, as well as the many possibilities that open source presents to developing countries.
"Zend products are deployed in more than 15 000 companies worldwide, and we look forward to working with a professional partner in SA in the form of Obsidian Systems."
Zend also provides certification training in the use of PHP, which Obsidian will be providing locally. Van Staden says Zend PHP courses will be available from Obsidian in the new year, with face-to-face training at the company's facilities in Johannesburg. The courses include PHP Essentials, Professional PHP Development, PHP Certification Training and Using Zend Studio.
