GEEKAUSTIN CLASSES

We are currently wrapping up the GeekAustin PHP class.
A special thanks to Josh Butts of the Austin PHP Meetup for teaching this class. We could not have hoped for a better teacher.

Although we don't have dates set, these are the classes in planning for Spring 2011

1) HTML/ CSS - these are very basic classes for those with no experience with designing web pages. We will be offering the CSS separately for those who already have experience with HTML.
2) Version Control - an introduction to Git/GitHub
3) Basic topics in MySQL replication

For those who've asked, we won't be offering the Basic MySQL class and Certification class again until the fall.
Basic MySQL
MySQL Certification Class

We have had several requests for a basic Java class. If you would like to see classes on a particular topic, send us a note at [email protected]
