None of my University CS course taught me how to properly prune a tree.
Despite this handicap, the Cherry and Apple trees are looking mighty fine after some work on the weekend.

Are you in the market for tree pruning? If so: I have some Crepe Myrtles that need you! 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

George Washington did much the same and he seems to have turned out alright. [And it was quite a while before CS courses were available.]

Yeah, he's now fertilising the trees
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Some general rules I apply...
1) Everything what goes more than 45% upwards (vertical ones)... gone
2) Everything what goes directly back to the tree body... gone
2) If there are two or more branches crossing... leave the ones getting the biggest quantity of sun and with less curves
3) If you want to change the direction of a branch, make the cut around 1 cm behind the "embrio" going in that direction
4) Don't let them go too far on the high (rotten fruits must be picked too or the tree could get ill), instead try to get them expand more horizontally.
5) Apples like to grow near the intersections... leave the tiny "baby" branches smaller than 10 cm even if they fit into one of the rules above
6) I like to make a cycle... 4 normal prunes and 1 more radical.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

So I'm trying to get some Web Development training. The Microsoft Virtual Academy has a course called "HTML5 & CSS3 Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners".
Anyone think this is the right way to go? I'd prefer an interactive course where I can talk to the instructor and classmates, but if others here think these classes are worth it I'd like to hear from you.
Thanks

https://www.w3schools.com/[^] This worked for me and is not Microsloth centric.
For example - I went to javaScript and php; MS would certainly point you to ASP.Net
The tutorials have "try it"'s all over the place, most of which you can modify and try again. Great learning tool.

Hey, a nice reply from the OP, for a minute I thought this guy[^] was back again.
Sin tack
the any key okay

I endorse Balboos for his suggestion of w3schools.
For non interactive learning tools, this is one of the best out there if not the best!

If you are interested in Front-End development. I'd recommend you study the Front-End Developer Handbook 2017. It has alot of information and points to some good resources.

But it is wise to seek out the experience of others rather than repeat their errors via your lack of insight. This is why we have forums like this to share experience of those who have 'been there'.

I don't know what you talking about. You must be referring the OP's comment.

This is twice now that you were hoping to get useful information from the Lounge. I make that mistake sometimes too. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yup, I hear ya, but hey, once you've been on the internet for more than 5 minutes you learn to ignore the stupidity.

Ya they do. I like them and I have a 3 month trial through MSDN.
Again, vids are nice but you can't directly ask questions.
Thanks

I found these online courses to be pretty useful.
Part 1[^]
Part 2[^]
With the knowledge learnt in those courses, I could write these articles - one[^] and two[^].
Professor Michel Buffa teaches very well.
