New classes

I just signed up to do a number of courses. It is called, Fast Track Web Design Certificate
The school, BTT College - Institute of Business & Technical Training

MODULE 1
Dreamweaver
MODULE 11
Working with HTML
MODULE 111
Working with Photoshop
MODULE 1V
Working with Flash

The classes are for eight Saturdays, starting this Saturday until November 17th with two weeks to do a final project. The programme cost CAN$520 and I need to buy an external drive for $20 as well. The school is downtown and I was the last to sign up in an expected class of eight. At the end of the course you get a certificate. It takes me about fourty five minutes to get there, and I have to walk a few short blocks, but there are alot of food places along the way, with coffee bars and salad spas (whatever a salad spa means!)
There is a second component to the programme, it costs another $540, and deals with Working with CSS, JavaScript, Flash with ActionScript and a project. By then I should have some good work lined up so that the second fee will not be an issue at all.

I feel very good about doing these classes. My friend Stephen is having his own website done, and he has been taking a very long time to have it done properly. There are so many people who want a site, that I can see myself being able to set up shop. Maybe I will be able to work from home as I want to do.
The point is to create my own site where others can log on and see what I do as part of the big picture. The bottom line is that this one move helps make me feel better about my plans and decisions. I would not have thought about my own business despite my present background. But somehow the added web skills makes me feel that I have greater possibilities.
