Subject: Re: Course in Web Database Integration (PHP/MySQL)
Hi,
I just think it's dum that you offer a course on your website, for months,
that I have planning to take, sine June.
And now you change it in August, and you haven't even updated your website.
I sat at Working Links more than two months ago, I think, and we searched on
PHP-courses.
And it was maybe 14 hits.
So if you wanted the change the course based on feedback from last-year, why
did advertise the un-change course.
Stupid behaviour like this, causes problems for people who want to plan
ahead.
A Norwegian college wouldn't operate like this, so I'm disapointed that this
happens in the UK.
I think this changing that you've started with today is just dum, and very
like amatours would have done..
Sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
