PHP

Sibers PHP Development Team consists of 26 people. The Team is large, that's why it has three Team Leaders. It is known in Sibers as Counter Strike fighting brigade. On Fridays these guys shoot away their colleagues and managers in "Counter Strike". Their marksmanship is great, just as solutions they develop.
