I did have ‘quite some’ knowledge of HTML/CSS/XML/Flash/PHP/etc. However being in for 18 months, I realized I’ve learned SO much new stuff! I found myself exploring new limits every single day.

I won’t lie to you: Devine is hard. It’s lot’s of hard work and it tends to get tiresome (any Deviner will agree).
However if you really like what you do, you should be able to manage yourself and get passed the first 2 years

Having a good background in programming really helped me out, and I could put lots of time of learning into more design-related classes.
If you haven’t got any knowledge regarding programming or video or design, it might become very very hard. The learning curve is really steep.
A few friends of mine managed to pass everything to this point, without any experience when first starting in Devine. So it _is_ possible, but it requires some discipline.

Good luck with choosing. It’s an important one, so do make sure it really is what you want

My name is Pieter and in two years I’m going to university too.
So I’ve been thinking lately about what to choose.

My question is: when you started Devine, did you have any knowledge about xHTML, CSS, PHP, JS, …?

And if so, are the lessons rather boring for the first half year?

Thanks
Pieter
