Yea I thought about that, but it seems like community colleges always take for ever to get into the nitty gritty. I decided to just give Lynda.com a try. It's pretty damn cheap and they have quite a few videos that seem to be aimed at the beginner.
I did a brush up today on my CSS with their vid from sitepoint and it was rather basic, but still taught me a few things I didn't know. I watched a few vids on js and it seemed like the vids are good enough that I'll be able to get a basic understanding of it. I'm gonna watch a few on php next and decide which way I want to go first.
