 This programming course was really informative and gave me some good leads for programming practice. He really clarified some issues that I was confused by in my java class.  Thanks,  I am ready to experiment more with programming.

This class reassured me that I'm on the right track and helped me ferret out the things I won't need to do as well as the most likely path to success I might take for my purposes.  Thanks, Dave:)

This really saved me some time in starting to learn programming. I would have taken weeks to learn about the different languages and what I should start with. Thanks for the helpful information and I am now ready to learn LAMP programming and Drupal!

This introductory programming course was very interesting and enlightening.  I highly recommend it for newbies who wish to get their programming feet wet, so-to-speak, as it will give them a basic framework from which to build as it assumes no programming knowledge and lays the groundwork in basic principles, vocabulary and provides pointers of what to do next.
