Listen To Those Who've Taken The Workshop
Joy of Code was truly a joy. Bud's writing style is clear, simple, and humorous. He does not use jargon, which is a refreshing change from the books and other courses on coding. I've read many books on web design topics - from HTML to CSS - and I've taken the classes. This is the first one that made sense. I found myself saying, "Oh! I get it!" so many times I can't recall. Besides the feeling of accomplishment, Bud's humorous style makes the learning fun. If you have a choice of courses, take this one, you won't be disappointed.

I am so happy to have found Joy of Code! I could have taken this class at my college but I didn't want the pressure of grades. Now I can enjoy learning without pain! Bud is always there when I need him, guiding me along and keeping it simple and straightforward. If I make a mistake, he carefully explains what happened instead of just handing me a bad grade. I'm now on my way to doing something I've wanted to do for a long time, make my own websites!

I'm enjoying Joy of Code and definitely feel like I am learning a lot. I have never taken any kind of course online before, but it is set up very well so that you can practice what you are learning and the instructor always responds well to email.

Now that I started, I cannot tell you how much I want to learn this material. Your style of presentation makes it very non-threatening.
Jeff Levine, Professor
Let me compliment you, Bud, on an excellent course. The style and language make the material approachable; the amount of new info in each chapter is manageable -- enough to keep it interesting, yet not too much as to overwhelm; and the results are very visible. The labs are so smartly designed: enough to keep you in practice and thinking without giving the answers away. This helps drive home the lessons and makes the results that much more rewarding when they're done.

As a newcomer to the world of XHTML, Bud was very supportive and patient as I worked my way through each chapter. He really took the time and effort to make sure my experience was not only informative but fun as well.
The best part about Bud’s methods is that he teaches to his students not to his lesson plan. He helped me gain confidence in my skills week by week.
I use what I learned everyday whether in my personal web projects or in my job in intranet development. If you want to not only learn code but understand it as well, Bud’s Workshop is for you.

I was so impressed with Bud Kraus that I invited him to speak to one of my graduate classes in Instructional Technology. Bud is extremely clear and complete in his presentation of material. The online format enabled me to take courses at my convenience that I would otherwise have missed. Bud’s wonderfully clear teaching style combined with the online format made both courses well worth my while.
