...a New York City–based start-up called Codecademy is aiming to bring programming skills to the masses. During what the company is calling Code Year, students will get an interactive online lesson emailed to them once a week. The service is free, and by the end of the year the company says that students should have a solid working knowledge of JavaScript, a widely-used programming language.
So far over 300,000 people have signed up, proving that there’s a lot of interest in talking to technology on its own terms.

Yeah, definitely - I'm a huge fan of learning things 'the hard way' (ie typing everything out from scratch) - and I think the best way to do that is to mess around. I'd say 70% of my programming knowledge to date has come from making things with no practical use whatsoever![]()
(then 20% from university and 10% from actual proper work - that's not to say that university isn't worthwhile, though - it's quite the opposite if you approach it in the right way [study hard when you need to, party hard when you don't])

You still are using tables to build a web site!! You don't need to use tables anymore. Here's an example of one site I'm working on now:

session_start();
/* This file declares the configuration variables */
include('includes/config.php');
//this appears with the site name at top of browser window
$pageTitle='Channel the Power of Video';

Yes it's a template that I am changing around a bit to fit my needs, as you see there are no tables in it, yet there are two distinct areas. The CSS file sets up the article content, navigation with a background picture, rounded corners on pictures etc. The web site is for C Schultz Media, if you want to see how it is laid out. It still a work in progress, but I should have it done in a couple of weeks. When finished this site will have imbedded video and audio so that you do not need any 3rd party plug-ins or flash, a js picture slider viewer a bunch of other things.
