    O’Reilly and Illinois have actually had those courses for quite a few years now. I remember thinking about taking some back in 2002-2003. I wonder why there’s the new marketing push for them?

    I wasn’t criticizing your coverage — I was just curious about O’Reilly’s motives. :)

    No problem! To be frank I need some feedback on their courses. Otherwise both zend (php) and mysql offering official certificates.

    Appreciate your post.
