In the many years doing programming there appear to be only three ways to learn a new discipline. 1. Taking a course at college (or maybe online). In a course you have to progress and work with a group which gives a lot more insight than as an individual. 2. Commit yourself to a project. When a client is expecting results you have to learn right, you have to learn fast and you have to be organized. 3. Teaching a discipline yourself. Again you have to learn right, learn fast and you have to be organized.. In summary, you have to put yourself on the spot to learn. Having just a book or scamming through various web based web learning programs are useless. There are rare individuals who are absolutely disciplined and focused but those people are extremely rare (those people have no friends and no family). Life has a way of unfocusing the very best of intentions and an external push is what is required.

I'm glad to take a look, that's for sure. :) Susan H. _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
