Hey Geoff,

Just wanted to drop a line and tell you that your Ten Ton book is awesome! I need to build a web page to support message boards, picture uploads, secure logins, and all kinds of other nifty features (as I think of them).  Problem is, I am a champion web page viewer (ebaumsworld, etc.) but have never built a site.  I have gotten through the first three chapters of your book, and dude...can I just say that not only do you make me confident that I can learn this stuff, you make me think the site might actually look good!

I also bought the "Dreamweaver Bible", which is about the size of a yugo and chock-full of all them "hey look here" icons you love oh-so-much. I did take your recommendation of making the book into a helmet...you will be hearing from my lawyer further on that matter (ha ha...just kidding).

As you can probably tell by the length of this message, wawa coffee abounds in my life of recent, per your recommendation.  If you’re interested, I’ll send you a link to my site when its up and running. Okay, I’m out to go whet the whistle at Jim Hiefer's Wild Roadside pub, luncheon, and plumbing supply nest. Thanks again for this book...I’m sure its going to be one of the top $44.99 purchases of my life.

Peace,
Mark

What did I say about those towns that have bars whose name contains the words hiefer, plumbing, and roadside?! You gotta get out, man! Thanks for such a great email. Great to hear that you're gaining the confidence and knowledge to steam-roll headlong into web design...and that you're happy with your new $44.99 helmet! Keep fightin' the good fight! -Geoff

 

Hey Geoff Dude! :)

As I'm a total print guy (with over 25 years experience), you have given me such a great foothold of knowledge and insight into web design from which to grow from. I speak for myself here, but as well—I am very sure—speak for others in your class, whom have touched upon RGB / web design, etc. before, in varying levels.  Whereupon you have totally "spiced" up their whole concept even further. I gained a world of knowledge from your 2-day course. Myself and everyone thanks you for that.

Point blank: Was quite amazed by your knowledge of everything: Web, print, design, production, etc. The whole package. On top of that, you have very incredible teaching skills.

You are a natural. Immaculate. I myself taught two semesters at The Academy of Design in Toronto, so I know what is involved. As well, you had no notes—All from your head!

You have a myriad of talents and are very blessed! A gifted individual and you should feel proud! Be Well.

Cheers!

S.P.

Aww shucks! Thanks so much for all the kind kind words. That's a lot of high praise that I hope I can live up to; especially from someone with your background, qualifications, and level of experience. Thanks also for coming out to the class...glad to hear you enjoyed it! -Geoff
