To prepare for this endeavor I have spent a lot of time looking at the materials available online for free, and I have found an incredible amount of great content.<\/p>\n<p>However, I could not find great free online software and web development courses. As Webucator specializes in this kind of training in the corporate world, I know how valuable these skills are. So, we have decided to make all of our self-paced courses available for free to homeschoolers. This includes courses on web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.), Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc), Photoshop, Dreamweaver and many others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a target =

Keep in mind that these courses are self-paced and are not going to have colorful cartoon-y graphics.\u00a0 They are written for adults, but are easily understood by focused older
