Brainbench and PHP

Personally I never thought that Brainbench certification would help in career. In July 2004, Brainbench has announced free tests for certain duration and I'd just took PHP 4 examination.

'.png'); } ?> Note that, there is a better version below In a single call with writeIm...

Top Indian web startups

Disclaimer: This list contains some of our team's projects Sites that are useful and usable erail.in - created by a single person and serves useful to quickly find availability in Indian trains ClearTrip - seems to be inspired by many other sites like Vayama , but able to get better UI RediffMail - speed is the big boost Myntra - good idea, but poor UI redBus - good idea, but poor UI and execution Sites from The Times Group are also of good idea, but poorly executed/architected. They clearly try and target the web startup "gap" Sites that are innovative (world's first/never seen before kind) SocialAV - World's first and only antivirus building community (by our team) CSSilize - World's first and only project management tool for slicing works (by our team) jobreapr - World's first and only fixed price job search engine (by our team)
