I haven't found any location with PHP instruction. Basically most of us have picked it up from the web and from books.

And since Vatterott has stopped their programming course, any programming instruction seems to be getting thinner, and thinner in Central Iowa. Even C/C++/C# seems to be limited to places like DMACC, or Drake

Hamiltons did have(Maybe still do???) a computer programming course (Mostly VB) I took one of them Basically, if you get your hands on the official MCP Visual Basic books you have the class. When I assked them about C/C++ I didn't get much of an answer. When I went looking for a programming course most of the schools like Vatterott and Hamilton's I asked about C/C++ said that Des Moines did not have a market for it? 

What I got out of trying to get formal instruction on about any programming is that, unless you want to spend DMACC or Drake type tuition costs? Grab all the books and read as much online as you can.
