Hello Peter!

You have done a very good job on your site for being self-taught and 15.
I would second the suggestion to take one of the Ziff Davis courses. You
can pay monthly or annually.

Right now they are offering a special, if join ZDrewards, you get a trial
period of 30 days for $1 USD and this gives you one semester (3 months) of
ZD University for free. If you are summer vacation, this may be ideal for you!

http://cma.zdnet.com/texis/zdrewards/register.html

list of classes:
http://cma.zdnet.com/texis/zdrewards/zdumore.html

To sign up for the ZiffDavis University (ZDU), use this link - you get two
weeks for free to try and see if you like it.

http://www.zdu.com/

Another site with good free tutorials is:

http://www.developer.com/classroom/tutorials/

Anothr good site with free information is:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/

And finally, or I will be online all night... Microsoft had a Sitebuilder
network that has been blended into their regular site. You get to different
levels, and each successive higher level earns you access to more and more
detailed code and hints and workshops. It is really pretty neat.

I started off as an English major, went into programming, drifted back to
writing doing course development and technical writing, and now am trying
to narrow it down to web work and usability engineering... you can do
anyting you set your mind to.
