I forgot what you told me last year... Which is a good website IT class I should take (I've taken the general web site design and implementation)? XD

[davenfonet]

PFW - programing for the web (535?), but take it with dan bogarard he'd the man. Its a PHP/database programing class

client side programing (its all javascript)

or the Flash class (but i can't rember what its called) it was all using flash as a programing environment.

Is Anthony Jefferson a bad teacher? I can't fit the class with dan into my schedule :(. And do you think Programing for the world wide web, or Client Side programing is a better class?

[davenfonet]

it depends on what you want to learn,

Client side programing is pretty useful as it lets you make websites that respond to user input like dynamic forms and stuff javascript driven menus and form validation. (it'll also be fairly easy for you as you know flash) tough it will make your brain brake as javascript is much more archaic than flash. (i dropped this class as it BROKE my brain but what i did learn from it was very useful)

Programming for the web might be more useful for you as you'll pick up PHP which is a really really useful language it lets you build full blown web applications. Out of all the IT classes it took i think it was the most useful. However it also involves some database work so you might have to spend a little time learning something new. But overall it will make you a stronger web developer as PHP people who can design are in high demand. I use PHP in most of my websites just cause it makes some things easy. Like Includes and redirects.

I meant up here. I've finally made friends so i'd like to live with them.

I'm trying to get out of my lease. If I move away from Vermont I will be looking at moving to places where my friends are. Your on the short list. ^_~

no you haven't but i'm sure joyce could do it for ya. I'd even help her out. Or I could just show the i-con AMV contest at tora-con.

I honestly don't think anyone would care. And i'd be like 3 weeks out of date by the time i showed up with it.

Which reminds me, what's his email address? I was going see how he was doing this week, since I offered to help work with all the video.
