Andi Gutmans named CEO of PHP vendor Zend

[ Thanks to smk for this link. ]

"I gotta tell you good readers, I've spoken to a number of Zend's 'C' level people in the past. Though certainly some of them have been very sharp, none have ever compared to Gutmans - at least in my narrow viewpoint as a journalist and one-time PHP developer.

"Gutmans understands not just the language he helped to create (with PHP 3 and onwards) but he has an unmatched critical understanding of the larger macro-enterprise development issues and applications where PHP plays a critical role."
