Extremely helpful examples were posted on his site for each class. He covered mySQL, PHP, HTML and Javascript in one class so he NEVER short changed anyone on time.

Professor Ganson makes a difficult subject simple with his lecture style. Examples are clear and easy to follow, questions are encouraged, and assignments are relevant and instructional. Don't skip class, everything he does one day will be based on what he did the day before. A nice general plus is his website, which makes keeping up on work easy.

Professor Ganson, us an amazing teacher. He trully is passionate about his math. He breaks it down in the simplist forms. I've been out of school for over 20 years and he made this so understanding. He gives you the confidence to move forward. I cannot wait to take his 002 class. I wouldn't take any other professor. Great guy.

When I started Information Technology at Nassau community college I used to hate Web programming until i came across Prof. Ganson. My whole prospective changed. His form of teaching is very unique. I took ITE 154, ITE 204, and ITE 254 with him. All he wants is to get your homeworks and projects done ON TIME. Now i am confident enough to proceed.

I highly recommend taking prof. Ganson for programming. I took 154,204,254 with him. His energy while teaching will tell you how enthusiasts he is about programming. His way of teaching his course is you might use one paper, rest of the work is online through his website. He teaches tools that can make thousands of dollars in real life.

This is a talented professor. He does a great job of explaining programming logic to you and will go over until you understand it. That being said I slacked off and got a D in this class. He's strict with the work he gives you so don't expect extra credit or extra points anywhere. The grade he gives you is what you get. Do all the homeworks, GL!

Professor Ganson is probably the most enthusiastic professor I've had the pleasure of meeting at NUMC. If you're taking his class, and truly enjoy coding, you will enjoy every second of it. He makes turning code into a visual product fun and easy to understand. If you are taking this class and did well in CSC104 and ITE101(HTML& CSS) your good!

Nothing much to say other than his lectures are amazing, he doesn't overload with homework and gives enough time to get the work done. Exams are not hard and depending on which class you take with him the exams are open book or everything. Just in general an amazing guy and professor who makes the class enjoyable and knows what he's talking about.

One of the best teachers you can take. He is to the point, realistic and doesn't overwhelm you. You are expected to find some answers on your own using the internet, but they would not be too far from what you already learned in class. If you have the chance to take one of his classes, go for it. I learn the most from these classes.
