Hey guys and gals I have a question. Today I stumbled upon this site [http://macromedia.elementk.com/](http://macromedia.elementk.com/) it’s called the Macromedia University. It looks amazing. I was wondering if any of you have taken it, or know someone that has. I am thinking of asking my boss to sign me up as it is all online and I could do the lessons at anytime. This looks too good to be true. If you click on the bottom link under “browse” on “Web Proffesional”, from what i can gather, you have access to all those classes for the 399 price tag. As I said before this looks almost too good to be true, I was wondering if you could let me know what you think of the whole thing. I am very curious. ---

Umm… I remember this site from my past. I believe the place where I work has a membership to this. I am now going to pull a Sherlock Holmes… ---

hey man - if you find out please let me know. As it seems, no one else on the board has heard of it… Any help would be most appreciated. 🙂 ---

seen this b4 but never went into it… looks nice tho … a fair bit cheaper than going to a _tech school_… but methinks you wanna ask more from them, like; does the for-credit/instructor led classes have any extra fees ? and the required books… do they _have_ to be purchased from them ? and don’t forget that this is a subscription per year fee arrangement …if self study ‘only’ (no instructor or credits) is what you want you could sign up with [http://www.oreilly.com/](http://www.oreilly.com/) and for ±$15 u.s. per month you have a fantastic library - but no structured lessons … I really don’t know anyone who knows firstHand any more about this 😕 ---

well I think it’s for sure that I am going to get a memebership here. It just seems so good - I mean all those lessons for everything you can imagine for that low price. It’s worth a shot especially if the boss will pay for it and to have all this information at your finger tips as well as message boards to talk with teachers and such - it seems like a win win situation. I will be sure to let everyone know how it turns out and if it’s worth it. Thanks for the info from those of you who replied as well 🙂 ---

I doubt you will get the same education you would at a school - plus I think a diploma from a tech school would look better than an online one from Macromedia. Plus you are right - it’s waaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper!
