Sorry about the two posts. The whole site was acting up ("ISP Error" or something) and somehow my post was put in twice, but the text is all gone now! I can't even see the posts in my profile, so I can't delete them.I'm too frustrated to retype the whole problem again... maybe another time.

In case anyone else is in my situation and is interested in the conclusion of my extensive research... I'm choosing to earn a Client-Side Web Programming Certificate from the University of Illinois, who is teamed up with O'Reilly Learning. It's only three classes: HTML & CSS, Intro to JavaScript, and JavaScript AJAX, which is just what I need.They offer 16 classes on other programming/code, too.

Thanks for the input, Jesh. I totally agree with you. I do not really need a certificate--I just need a course in which I can learn JavaScript. It would, however, be nice if that course could be lumped with a few others to earn a web development certificate.UPDATE: I just researched SCAD's classes further and they do not offer a class that teaches JavaScript. So much for my leading pick!

Hi All-Hoping you can help me with a serious decision. I'm a graphic designer who knows HTML and CSS and needs to learn JavaScript. Later I'll probably learn PHP or ASP.NET. I know the W3School tutorials are great, but I'm looking for a program offered by a college or university that I can complete with online classes. My company's paying, so I just need to decide what program to enroll in. These classes or certificate should not only add value to my skills, but also increase my marketability to future employers. Any suggestions?BTW: SCAD's Graduate Certificate in Interactive Design looks good, but it may be too expensive at $2,600/class... and I have to present my decision today.
