For those even more local (eg; West Yorkshire), Acunity Ltd (www.acunity.co.uk) have obtained grant funding to deliver courses in web technologies significantly cheaper than you'd otherwise pay.

(I hope this doesn't count as advertising - they're just a good resource for those of us in the area ~ I'm not linked to them in anyway other than I recently undertook the 2-day introduction to ASP).

just down the road from me. Seems expensive though, are those prices before they got the funding?

that old favourite "buy a book" springs to mind.

There have always been plenty of free alternatives, the trouble is in finding the good ones

Depends how you run your life - books are great if you can also find the time to set on oneside and go thru them. Sometimes it's worth a £300 investment to force yourself to learn it...)

[The prices are full price; ie before the grant - and they are run in very small groups - he once had a big group, of 4 students]

Completed lesson two and now have some grasp on inheritance and HTML hierachy.

Not learnt something new in blimmin ages so it is a pleasant change.
