... he is very knowledgeable about Java and all things connected.
I am very pleased with the service he provides. I am a third year computer science student and he has really given me a much better understanding of the subject already in such a short time.
His English is very good and he has a very thorough teaching style which I really like.
I plan to use his services for many months to come and would recommend him.

Learn HTML5/PHP/AJAX Web Programming from Scratch; An amazing course from Dr. Richard Stibbard. Usually I only promote my own courses, but this course is very impressive, so I cut a deal with Dr. Stibbard; You can also find Richard's website here
Learn Cross-Platform Mobile App Development A former client of a mine by the name of Dan, an Irish software developer and trainer with 20 years' experience, has created this fantastic course, which shows you how to develop phone apps using Javascript (not Java, but a bit similar!) with Appcelerator Titanium (free).
Web hosting: AccuWebHosting.com This is the web host that this site uses. For the first three years of its life, this site used their shared hosting package at about $42 a year. In 2013 I moved to their cloud hosting package, which lets me host unlimited websites. Their support is lightning-fast and I highly recommend them.
The Thesis Theme for WordPress: this is the premium WordPress theme that I used to create the last version of this site. I spent a few days customising the theme to get the current look, which was intimidating at first, but thanks to Thesis, easy enough once I got into it. Now, however, I've recreated the entire site in plain HTML using Jekyll and Twitter Bootstrap.
Pat Flynn's Smart Passive Income podcast is about making money online. I discovered this after my courses become popular, and I found that I was already doing a lot of what Pat suggests; so I can attest that it works. I wish I'd found this podcast a long time ago. In particular, Pat recommends giving away a lot of stuff for free and leaving out the hard sell; sentiments that I wholly agree with. It's better to make a living by giving people what they want and need, than to badger them with overblown adverts; that way you're improving the Internet instead of taking from it.
Oracle Java Trails A great free resource for learning Java.
