Hey Tyler
I just wanted to say thanks for the effort you put into this podcast series. It has to be said that yours provide the most content of any podcast series out there. The way you had these laid out was perfect for a newbie (like me), to the point where I am going to follow this up and maybe make a career shift into this direction.
They are definitely staying on my iPod.

Any plans to resume the series? Please!!

Thanks again

It was a pleasure to listen to. The best audio tutorial that I have found on the web. As some people allready mentioned, you have a rare talent of transmitting a knowledge. Clear and concise. Thank you very much.

Hey!
I found your podcast on iTunes and I just finished the series. I really loved it. Your no-BS, pure content style is really great. I plan to listen to them again since they're so dense, I know that I'll pick up more a 2nd time through. I'm sure it took a lot of work putting those together, thank you!!

Hey,

I've been listening to all your podcasts and really like them.

I don't know how else could I contact you cause the contact page on the site under portfolio seems not working right now ("Access denied").

I dropped an email to your Admin gmail account (the one sends out user account details).

Keep up the good podcasts and all the good work.

Tim

Greetings

I know it's a bit late in the game to drop a line but I just found your podcast as I was looking through iTunes and downloaded the 8 episodes I could find. I have to tell you I found your podcast very clear and informative. I would like to thank you for helping me get over the hump of uncertainty by presenting the info in a manner that I understood quite easily. It would be wonderful to hear some more but for the meantime I will listen to the ones I have again just to glean additional insights.

Thanks much
James

And thanks for the W3 schools tip. Great resource for my knowledge level.

Hi! Overall great podcasts!
You've renewed my passion in Web Development, I was rather outdated on some features. Been venturing to technical networking industry after leaving web hosting & multimedia marketing environment. Your voice is clear and very informative facts.

Oh yeah found your podcast via:

Keep up the good work!

Only just caught on to your podcast recently via itunes and I gotta say...definitely do number 9! I remember you said something in one of the podcasts to jump on here and motivate you...so I finally got around to doing so.

Some things I'd love someone to go over, really briefly is stuff like creating classes (in something like PHP), workflow (like, going from illustrator, to photoshop/fireworks, then aptana, then rinse repeat?), and also perhaps if you could do a podcast on AWS/EC2/S3 because I tried to get into that stuff, as a way to dodge paying out my ass for a VPS and had no luck at all.

Anyway, just giving you some motivation.

oo, good call on the PHP

oo, good call on the PHP classes. I'm going to have to give PHP an in-depth covering, since it seems there really aren't any PHP tutorial-like podcasts out there (some newsie ones).

As far as AWS, i'm going to learn it before I teach it. You're miles ahead of me, what are you doing listening to this podcast!! :)

This podcast is great! You

This podcast is great! You do an amazing job of introducing the newbie to the "real" world of web development. It's hard for a beginner to sort through all the programs, frameworks, various questionable info, etc and actually get any real education when trying to cobble together info from all over the net. Its great to have someone who is willing to give free accurate info about the real process of web development rather than produce another tutorial podcast on how to use the pen tool in photoshop or how to code an html or flash site. If you get more time I'd love to hear more! Also, you should think about becoming a teacher later in life. You have a very clear concise way of explaining things which is rare to hear. Especially in web development.

Thanks Brent! Every response warrants another episode, so because of this I will do another show! Hopefully soon :s
