How is an old lady gonna learn web design?
Found a blog online that was started by a 13 year old Filipino kid a couple of years ago and I picked up a few great blogging tips and a nice quote by Henry Ford:
“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.”
I’m not building products a whole new way like Ford or number one on Google for “make money online” like this really bright young boy (who writes in English) but I am constantly learning new things and I hope to continue to learn until I drop in my tracks.
When I first got online in late December of 2001, the first thing I did was sign up for a basic skills course from MindLeaders. Not only did I quickly learn how to use the Internet but I learned how to use most of the programs that came with my computer months before.
That was my first experience with the video format of online learning and it works great for me. On March 17, 2002, I launched my first ezine and a month or so later, my first website.
Now, I’m thinking of taking a few more online classes but I don’t know whether I want to go back to MindLeaders or on to Lynda.com. I’d love a few comments from anyone with experience at either of these or any other online learning you found useful.
I also found an interesting article by a web design professional that tells me I’m on the right path here. Web design is a life-long learning process and it really doesn’t matter you forget to go back to school as long as you learn.
