I have taught advanced Visual Basic (VB) programming for the Department of Technology at Illinois State University. Was asked to teach by the department based on recommendations from faculty and positive comments received from class taught as a Graduate Independent Study. Afterwards I was asked to come back and teach a class for the same department. I was given free roam to change the topic and I ended up teaching PHP, MySQL, and basic web topics like site design and content considerations.
