Hi Shannon,

I am curious to ask you, given that Anchorage is not exactly a small city (300k people ?), if you have looked around Anchorage for junior colleges, or educational institutions, night courses, extension campuses ? Is there any mobility problem, or anything else, that inhibits your getting around and visiting places like these ?

Have you googled on "anchorage c#" : [^] : looks to me like a lot of local resources there. People, companies, you might contact.

One resource I have always found helpful in almost any situation is to contact a local librarian such as may be found at : [^] : librarians these days are usually really up to date on local resources, and on-line resources, not just books.

"C#, .NET, PHP, XML, SQL" is quite a whopping plate of technology ! And I think you may want to organize your approach to learning around first trying to clarify some goals about what you want to be able to do in the future. If your long-range goal is to become a fully qualified "computer scientist" with academic credentials, that's one thing; if your goal is to, within a year or so, begin to get paid for creating web-sites that talk to databases, and support e-commerce, that's another.

And by all means, if possible, explore the various computer clubs in your area ... [^]... go the meetings, bounce off people, socialize. See if you can find someone who's willing to sit down with you and discuss your goals who's familiar with local resources.

Don't hesitate to find out the open office hours of an instructor or professor at a local junior college or college in computer science and drop in, introduce yourself; most likely you'll get a friendly greeting and, possibly, some good advice.

good luck, Bill

"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844
