I created a JavaScript online class called JavaScript: Unobtrusive Programming at LVS Online.com.
The main goal for students will be to further their basic knowledge of JavaScript and to understand how JavaScript can be developed to be more efficient by applying general programming concepts. This entails making your scripts more generic by taking the code out of the HTML container with only a reference to the external JS file with no “script” tags which is known as unobtrusive scripting.
This 6-week class will be covering many of the topics I have covered on this website, but with greater detail and, of course, includes on-one-one assistance.
The class is only $30 and there are no other materials or software needed.
Topics Covered:
Week 1: Unobtrusive Scripting: Three Layers of a Web Page
Week 2: The DOM: Referencing and Modifying Elements
Week 3: Creating a Custom Object: Encapsulating your Code
Week 4: Firebug: Debugging Your Scripts
Week 5: JavaScript Libraries: jQuery
Week 6: Ajax Basics: Understanding the XMLHttpRequest Object
To give you an idea of how each lesson looks, here is the first lesson (.pdf).
When Does Class Start?
The class runs five times a year for six weeks in January, March, May, August and October. To learn more view the course description page and contact me to find out the exact date on when you can register.
As I am cursed with no artistic talent whatsoever, I am amazed at what people can do with Flash. From simple animated banners to truly beautiful interactive web sites. I do not use Flash on a regular basis, but am knowledgeable of the scripting language ActionScript and what it can do for Flash.
As an adjunct faculty for a local community college, I ocassionally teach weekend classes on Flash. One of the classes I teach is on the basics of ActionScript.

self-study so it can be taken anytime and the price is reduced to $15.
I am teaching a ASP online class called Basic Web Applications with ASP at LVS Online.com, which will teach you the basics of creating server-side web development using Active Server Pages.
This 6-week class is great for people who have some basic web experience (HTML or CSS or JavaScript) and want to know how they can develop dynamic web pages on the web server.
The class is only $30 $15 and there are no other materials or software needed.
Even though Active Server Pages has been replaced by ASP.NET, it is still used by many companies and the process for server-side development is the same no matter what technology you use. Many of the objects in ASP are still used in the ASP.NET framework and would make the transition to a newer technology a lot easier.
Checkout these great reference guides (.pdf) on ASP and VBScript by DevGuru on to learn even more.
Topics Covered:
Week 1: How a web server works, server-side vs. client-side
Week 2: Processing Form Results
Week 3: VBScript Basics
Week 4: Redirecting the User
Week 5: More VBScript – Arrays and Loops
Week 6: Sessions and Cookies
