Re: newbie needs a little direction

The teacher of PHP is going to have a Ruby on Rails course soon also. Richard Blum has written many books too. I was getting good advice on Ruby from him before my last PHP course finished.

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.

I looked at the ed2go.com website and the pricing which seems pretty attractive. I didn't see any mention of text books so my question is are text books used or is all lesson material presented online? Thanks
