Hi C. Franks,
Thanks for the info. I understand what you're saying about learning on your own and practicing. I've been doing that for years now, and have yet to be profitable, but maybe I'm one of those people that have to be shown the way, as opposed to people that discover the way by themselves. Good luck to you.
I see the thread is going towards EAs, and that isn't really my question. I'd like opinions on courses and approaches, not robots.
Thanks.
