Thank you everyone for all your advice. My hours at my job have been increased for the new year, and I have more responsibilities, so I will definitely be staying at my current job. I will continue working on the various bootcamps and I will see what opportunities open up. I will have some volunteer web development opportunities in the near future.

Memorizing vocabulary and grammar of any language is unnecessary (if even possible), but memorizing 2% and understanding some basic structure rules can get you astonishingly far. Having a good dictionary or reference site is always useful too. ☺ I keep one of these on my desk: https://www.zazzle.com/regular_expressions_quick_reference_two_tone_coffee_mug-168607272387736153 Erich -- Erich Hammer Head of Library Systems [log in to unmask] University Libraries 518-442-3891 University @ Albany "History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest- ridden people maintaining a free civil government." -- Thomas Jefferson
