phparch RIA class 
Well I have been attending the phparch RIA class for a little bit now and I have to say I like it. Without giving too much away I will say the class is informative and relaxed, Paul works hard to interact with the class on an individual basis, and we cover some really cool stuff. The code we write for examples and homework is relevant and scary as it sounds - fun. Paul stresses security and shows us where to watch for potential performance problems saving us from making the beginners mistakes.
I am almost done with the class and while I will not miss the 2AM wake up (I am on the other side of the world - hate those timezones) when it is finished I will be glad that I did it. Thank you Paul for making learning and experimenting with something so new to me this easy and enjoyable.
So while I didn’t pay for the class out of my own pocket (work did) - for me it is well worth the money and I know I will not hesitate in the future about taking another one on my own dime.
