I would be grateful if someone would take the time to read, give any useful advice, recommend any WM based training companies or point me in a starting direction, my head is ready to blow.
I have self-taught myself MS Access for 7 years now (bad I know) and from this have created several simple databases used by many staff in the College in which I work. They do include some basic programming.
These databases are extremely useful to staff but to be honest, they are at breaking point.
I have now been given the task of re-creating these databases in SQL and linking its data to Access / VB Applications / Web Front End (What's the difference?)
I'm toying with the idea of doing courses first of in:
1. SQL Database Design and Implementation
2. SQL Database Administration
but I'm hearing that I must do A+ / networking fundamentals first. Is this right?? Someone has even suggest the HNC course (do I really have time for this? - I'm talking within the next year or I must so have made some progress on converting these databases somehow and creating a least two forms / front ends for them.
I'm thinking I should also take:
3. An Access Developers Course
4. Visual Basic
5. Business Analysis/Project Management
6. HTML
I've been given a great opportunity here to further my career but haven't a clue where to start. Although I have bought the MS Press books (a while ago now), I'm afraid its not sinking in.
What is myPHP / mySQL / asp.net?
I do have resources available to me at work but without a definite starting point ....
Thanks for your time.
