I would like to learn a lot more about web design and SEO. Having viewed the "schools" online, I am not impressed by the courses or contents of the courses. Having said that, I may be looking at all the "bad" options out there and am open to suggestions for better online class sites.
Any ways..... I went to the dummy book site and they offer about everything and anything there - MYSQL, CSS, XHTML, JAVA to name a few -
Is the dummy books a recommend way to learn these things or not?
Opinions wanted

I like the dummies series - I've read the Search Marketing one and own it. It does cover a lot of the basics, just be careful to buy the latest version - older versions will have older info.

There is a ton of SEO information online including numerous online courses and e-books that are regularly updated. I suspect many of these may provide great information; however, I am not an SEO so not in a position to recommend any in particular.
Perhaps an SEO person can mention any that are worthwhile.

beth_lk,
From what I've seen so far of online courses (from the outside), I don't like any of them. Their curriculum is rigid and seldom allows you to proceed at your own rate or digress from their own limited structure and scope.
Books on the other hand are mostly outdated or too general to do you much good when they're published. The Web moves too fast for them to adjust in a timely manner.
But if you have some broad idea of what you'd like to pursue (like the databases and languages and servers and platforms, etc) to work within, then a few basic books are valuable -- even if only to familiarize you with some terminology to type into Google to find out more.
The Web has tons of great tutorials and source code for you, but finding it can be difficult if you don't know what, precisely, you're looking for. Learning the d****d acronyms will give you a month's headache for sure.
But I'd stick with the Web mostly as a resource.
