XHTML training finished from Lynda.com (March 2010)

I finished another course from Lynda.com - this time about XHTML / HTML

This was a shorter course, only 4 hours, but I was able to quickly refresh what I had learned 10 years ago in college.

Now I'm going to move on to learning CSS then XML, then XML with ActionScript.

PHP and MySQL online course from Ivy Tech

I will be enrolling in an online class teaching PHP and MySQL through Ivy Tech. Class will start April 21, 2010, and there will be assignments due on Wednesday and Friday, but I will be able to participate in these online classes any time before or after work - or weekends. I'm very excited to have my first real class in programming other than training videos from Lynda.com or self study through books, which have all gotten me pretty far, but I'm looking for a deeper knowledge about programming with PHP. After this beginner course, I will be signing up for an intermediate class on PHP and MySQL. Both classes are only $89.00 each and last 6 weeks.

March Lynda.com online software training

I have not been updating my blog each time, but I have completed a few new courses at lynda.com. I have now finished Flash ActionScript 2.0 beyond the basics which took about 19 hours, and I finished a shorter course on xhtml (4-5 hours) I'm now looking to complete a couple short courses about CSS with Xhtml, and then I'll be moving to learn a little javascript/Ajax and this whole time I will be jumping around many Action Script 3.0 courses while reading a book on Action Script 3.0 and a basics level book about PHP.
