I use a CMS (Drupal .. »Drupal.org) - so all the hard stuff is done for me.. i've been using it for about 2.5 years, so i've picked up enough CSS, HTML, and PHP to make my own modifications, but i dont need to do that very often. | |

The lessons are usually about 8 to 23 pages each. I just print them and put them in a binder to look back at. There have been no text books in the classes I've taken. Her is the list of classes I have taken.
The intro PHP and Intermediate PHP were the ones I got the most from.
Intermediate PHP and MySQL Ended July 11, 2008
Introduction to Java Programming Ended April 11, 2008
Introduction to SQL Ended March 07, 2008 Introduction to Microsoft Access 2003 Ended January 04, 2008
Introduction to CSS and XHTML Ended December 07, 2007
Achieving Top Search Engine Positions Ended November 09, 2007
Introduction to PHP and MySQL Ended September 07, 2007
The classes are always 12 lessons. They start in the middle of each month. Every Wednesday and Friday with two weeks to complete. There are quizzes you need to do and a final exam - all multiple choice.
In the PHP classes, I would get way behind because I would be applying what I learn beyond the course criteria, and then work hard to catch up! I put more effort in PHP because it just felt synergistic. An accredited school can be a middleman, or you can sign up direct. I like direct, but it costs a bit more and some classes have credit value if you use a brick&mortar school. -- Jim, VoIP since 12/2002, VOIPo 2/7/2007
