Definitely, baby steps are the way to go. I don’t know where I would be if it weren’t for baby steps.

Yeah, um, well, I haven’t gotten around to the Ajax ones yet. Baby steps, baby steps.

How are the AJAX lessons going?

That’s what I’d like to learn. I’d like to be able to create webapps. I know my way around Javascript (more or less) but don’t know much about XML.

You are going to be a web ninja after all of those tutorials!

I doubt there’s any real substance to the certificate, but any little thing to motivate you is worthwhile.

As I proceed through the PHP course, I’m having to concentrate now and take notes. It’s getting harder!

This looks promising!

Video definitely beats staring at the text and code on w3schools or some other tutorial website.

You mentioned “you can claim a certificate when you’ve finished everything.” What exactly does that mean?

Seems like it would only prove that you ran the videos (and maybe paid some attention); not a certified programmer.
