Hi everybody what a good find this site is . . I was all set to send my cheque to a TP for a Web Development course and then I saw the endless warnings on these forums about the risks involved so I thought I should ask some questions of people in the know (thats you !) before going any further !

I'm interested in getting into Web Development but only know what I've been told by the sales guy at Advent and I really don't know what to think . . does anybody have any advice on the best way to proceed and the quals I should be looking to get please ?

I've been in the music biz for 15 years but sold up and moved to Australia a year and a half ago with my girlfriend and 2 dogs however we're having twins later in the year and its very dull down here so we're moving back to Poole in a month ! My business involved managing bands and artists and producing music events and a lot of what I did was web based so I have an interest in the subject and can see myself setting up as a web development consultant once I'm qualified as I know a lot of designers and other web tech types and think I can do a good job of advising on how and why to get a site together and promote and trade through it while developing data bases etc

Does that sound like web development is the way to go ??

Any tips greatly appreciated !!
