Customer Testimonials

One thing I have discovered is that I learn more when the training course actually builds a project. An example of this is PHP with MySQL Essential Training with Kevin Skoglund. Defining a technique in a program is far different than implementing that technique in a real situation; but with real-world training, we get real-world learning.

I was a contract/freelance web designer struggling with the transition from table-based to CSS-only layouts. I was falling behind the curve, losing work and quickly becoming obsolete. After watching all of your CSS training videos, I was able to land my dream job at an award-winning web design agency here in Phoenix, AZ. THANK YOU!!
