For what it's worth, any no offense to anyone who posted about
Lynda.com. I also think Lynda.com is awesome. I did a quick search on
PHP and the results returned 4 courses. Two of which are all of 16-17
seconds in length. The other two are 10-11 minutes. I would not
consider this comprehensive.
Jonathan, for my opinion it really depends on two important variables.
a) How best to you absorb training information. Are you the type of
person that can pick up a book on the subject and consume the details?
Do you need one-to-one instructor driven instructions?
b) In what environment are you specifically interested in? Meaning
for PHP you can get training for example in Dreamweaver. Or you can
get training on using TextMate and learn to do all the things DW does
for you.
Maybe look into the Austin Community College. They used to offer a
Webmaster cert program which was part of the Adult Education. Lindsey
Allen (also on this list) might be so kind to offer some opinion on
ACC. They offer both online self-paced sessions as well as in-
classroom instructor lead courses.
