THE BOMB..YOU GOTTA LOVE THAT VIDEO INTRO HE'S GOT...PLUS HE AIN'T AFRAID TO CALL HIMSELF A GEEK!!!!

Awesome, laid-back dude. You definitely have to be self-motivated and able to learn on your own to do well, but he corresponds via e-mail rather well. Extremely accomodating with deadlines, in that he doesn't use them!

Professor Perry is a nice guy, tends to jump around a lot, but this guy knows his stuff. If you can catch a rare moment to pull him aside and work with him 1 on 1 he tend to be extreemly helpful without making you feel like a dip$#!7.

Liked the layout for the class/assignments. Wish this teacher taught more CSIS classes.

Took the online PHP class. Very helpful professor! Final grade was based mostly on programming assignments which is how it should be in this field in my opinion.

Steve is a good teacher. Subject is needed and exactly what I was looking for. I will take more of his classes.

I had 4 classes with Professor Perry and I would say I like this classes the most of all the online classes I had. Best part is he made a custom "blackboard" so you dont have to use their crappy blackboard. The assignments were well laid out making it easy to do the assignments while still learning something. No Pro level, but pushes you that way.

Really great, uses his own site to teach with. Straightforward lectures, examples, debugging videos, and assignments. I think that students who have a hard time expect him to supplement not complement their programming education. Am currently taking his php and JS w AJAX courses now. great job, steve perry lol.

Steve always responded in a timely fashion to any question. The online course was kind of tedious because it was mostly slides accompanied with Steve's lecture. The quizzes broke things up a bit. He uses his own website which was very organized. I think the in person lecture would be more productive but of course less convenient.

Steve was awesome. The lecture videos are short. The exercises are short. And the quizzes are short. He does a great job of showing you what is needed and responds quickly to the forum posts and emails. I would definitely take him for other classes.

I have taken four online classes from him and enjoyed each one. I strongly recommend him to students with programming experience in other languages. He is very responsive to questions and, unlike some profs, is willing to admit mistakes. FYI, few other local community colleges offer the subjects that he teaches.

Excellent instructor. Very responsive & helpful. I feel he really wants us to succeed. Didn't require a textbook for this course which is a big deal to me. Made the class affordable. He used his own LMS. It was perfect for the SQL class. I'm going to take another class or two from this instructor based on the good experience I had with this course.

Steve was very accessible and the class was informative and functional.

Professor Perry is a real helpful and concise professor. He made learning oracle relatively easy and fun. GREAT teacher and I would definitely take another of his classes

Great class. Mr. Perry was really responsive to questions. Since this was a on line class, that is really important. Great feedback on the quizzes and discussions.

Professor Perry is one of the best professors at Palomar, with great feedback and willing to help understand the subject. This course is structured for students to take led of their own education and have Professor Perry willing to walk you through some work problems if needed.

Good instructor. Very clear and concise lectures. Will help if asked but answers tend to be short, this is onlihe course. Grading very clear and youll always no where you stand. Assignments,ie coding many but short,doable. If you are looking for a no nonsense, basic but thorough intro to SQL this course and prof fits the bill.

Prof. Perry was very helpful. The material was clear and the course was interesting. Do the exercises in order to understand the material and the exams will be a breeze!

Very detailed video lectures. He gives many examples of the subjects. Ask any questions and he will answer so long as it is not made clear in the text. Do not use search engines to find answers, he WILL call you out on it.

Lectures were clear, answered all my questions and responded to every post in the the discussion area. I liked this class - a good into to SQL.

I had already taken CSCI 114, so this class was a refresher, but there were many techniques that I learned from this class that I had not seen before. Assignments are straightforward and are very similar to lecture and examples. I really enjoy that Perry records his lectures rather than just a PDF and he is extremely helpful in discussion and email

Great class, good feedback, all around nice guy! Also happy to learn JavaScript while I was there.

Have to participate with a purpose in online forum. Recorded lectures are to the point and he covers everything you need to pass. Pay attention and try and you'll pass. I've had Steve for a few classes and love his style and format. No text needed. Already signed up for another class with him.

Fun and great class.

I took an online SQL class with this professor. He had really clear video lectures, as well as written information and practice exercises. Quizes were easy but helped me learn. Great feedback and response times.

Great professor. I have taken several classes from him and have enjoyed each. Very clear instruction and grading. As an online student his well planned and scheduled class allows you to work when you can and plan when you will be able to accomplish tasks. Wish he taught more classes.

Prof Perry's cswb120 was a great class. I learned a ton about java script. He presents the data in a very informative and organized way that makes it go down much easier than most other classes. I highly advise taking his class.

Steve is an awesome professor. His lectures are very clear and easy to understand. He's also really good about answering questions.

It's mandatory that you apply yourself.

Prof Perry is a great professor! His online courses are taken on his own website, which is much better than Blackboard. Some of his classes use a book, and some don't. This one was CSWB150, PHP/MySQL, and it didn't use a book. Instead, there are tons of video lessons, all of which are really good. I highly recommend Prof Perry!

I really enjoyed this course. All coursework is done exclusively on Prof Perry's website, which is well-organized, easy to navigate, but might be in need of an update to a more modern design. Prof Perry is quick to reply to all questions and takes time to explain the gritty stuff if you don't quite get it from the video lectures.

Prof. Perry's lectures are clear; his didactic material is easy to understand and follow. I would definitively recommend him if you plan to follow the information technology field as he will be there to assist you anytime you get stuck!

By comparison to other online classes this was the best one to date. Unlike other programming online classes, prof perry has set up his own online lectures that deal with the material and assignment we are working on. My only complaint is a few assignments I did not code correctly I did not receive feedback other than what didn't work, whch I knew

I enjoyed this class and learned what I expected to. The materials (video - no text) were easy to follow and provided relevant information to do the assignments. Prof Perry gave very quick and helpful feedback. The assignments and grading system was very clear and updated promptly as lessons were submitted. Do the work and you'll get a good grade.

I like the teacher. He is good. He explains details . If I have any questions he answers right away I would like him to re-write his quiz questions. Sometimes these questions are Vague and I have hard to figure what is the ask. I recommend the class and the teacher. Worth taking for sure. Thanks

Professor Perry has mastered online teaching. He uses his own intuitive website to conduct the class. The course consists of video/transcribed lectures with corresponding exercises that prepare you for regular, evolving assignments. Very fair grader, regularly interacts with the class, and promptly answers questions. No book required!

Very helpful whenever a student had a question. Would work with you until you felt you had a proper understanding of the material being covered. Approachable and willing to help you after class if needed.

The video lectures are broken into short lengths so we learned incrementally. It made the material easier to learn. He answered every question posted on the discussion board and explained things clearly. He sets us up to succeed. A great teacher. I actually can look at jquery code now and understand what it is doing. Nice.

Best teacher I've ever had. I'm on my third class with this instructor now. He is patient and really knows his stuff.

8 assignments and an online final. Watch the chapter videos, do what the assignment asks and he pretty much cookie-cutters the job for you. If you paid attention to the videos, then you can fill in the rest. Responds to email, usually, within the day. Just be clear on what you're asking/needing to know. Meh on the text, cracked it a few times.

I really enjoyed taking Professor Perry's course. I took it for personal knowledge, not for course credit, because I figured SQL would be a useful skill to have as a developer. I definitely would take his course again. His lecture videos were good and clear, and he was very clear in what he wanted on assignments.

Steve Perry is great. His online program is top notch and easy to use. He is by far the best online computer science teacher at Palomar I have come across for his course & assessment style, feedback, general nature and use of a personal online portal. Doing SQL with him. Took some other teachers online computing courses and his were best.

SQL online class. Excellent instruction. Videos with accompanying text and practice lessons. Each lesson was short and covered specific subjects with quizzes directly related to the lessons. The advantage of the video lessons vs in-class is that the videos could be repeated and used as reference which greatly improved the learning experience.

I took intro to SQL online with Professor Perry at Palomar College. Professor Perry is very clear and uses his own site to assign, grade and track all HW assignments for the class. His lectures are up to date and informative. No tricks with the material. Watch the lectures, do the practice, post on the discussion board, do the hw, done.

Professor Perry is one of the best teachers I've had. It was online class, however Steve was always available when I needed him. He responded to emails fairly quick.

Had this professor for SQL and Oracle. Everything for lessons and homework was available on his webpage and his materials made learning the languages very understandable. Homework load was consistent and deadlines were not cutthroat. Questions posted on the discussion board of his website were promptly answered, and he comments on quiz answers.

Professor Perry is one of the best online Professors I have had. He is really fair and his goal seemed very focused on my learning.

SQL is easy to learn anyway. The way he presents the material is to the point and easy to follow. The on-line style allows for flexibility to work ahead or take your time if needed. Anytime I had a question or problem I couldn't figure out he answered within 48hrs of email or message post on website. He grades quickly. No waiting :)

Javascript was a bit of a challenge, but Prof Perry proved to be an excellent teacher and answered my questions in a timely manner. The lectures were in video format with slides that you could review for notes. Since this was an online course, I could work ahead when the lesson was easy and take my time on the challenging weeks.

Intro to PHP and MySQL. No Book required, everything you need is posted on the website. Quick to grade work and responds to emails and message board posts. Plenty of hands on practice. This is the third time I have him for a CS class. I wish I could have him for the rest of my classes. Best part is no writing reports/essays/exam questions.

I'm terrible with online classes, but he has excellent videos that make it easy to learn from and get the info you need to pass the class.

There is a lot of homework in this class if you do all of the exercises. They all serve a purpose though. I recommend doing as many as you can. Great class though.

The absolute best professor at palomar. I took him for three classes this semester and I made sure to sign up early so i could take him for one more next semester. He's super easy to talk to and explains everything in great detail. Im normally terrible online, but his lectures are amazing and very well done. Highly recommend to anyone.

Good class. Taught online but professor responds regularly on class forum. Directions were clear and the class helped me understand the basics of SQL.

Professor Perry uses his own platform that's very well organized. I took 2 classes by him, SQL and Javascript 1 and have only praise for these online classes at Palomar. I will be taking Javascript 2 from him next.

Great class I enjoyed it

Perfect online teacher, responsive and available, sometimes even nights and weekends. Very knowledgeable in this subject and related fields.

I really felt that Prof Perry would take the time to help me understand what was difficult for me to get at first. He's very accessible and I appreciated the extra help.

I didn't use the recommended textbook, I found it hard to follow. I found the videos posted by the professor to be enough to get through the class 90% of the time. The professor was active in the discussions in regards to answering questions on exercises/videos. This was a very challenging, yet rewarding course.

Professor Perry's lectures are clear, concise, and informative. In addition, the message board is very active (due to participation requirements) and one can always count on Professor Perry to answer any and every question on his message board. My only complaint is the lack of lectures on best practices for security when using PHP and MySQL.

SQL course w/ him was excellent! I'm a repeat student because he sets up his own user-friendly classroom platform. Video lectures, exercises, quizzes are all there for you so if you want to move ahead of schedule, you can. Quick grader, responds promptly via msg board/email. Always there to help you, straight to the point. Work load is reasonable.

Professor Perry was professional quick to return answers to questions. Sent you in the right direction to find solutions.

I took 2 classes with Steve and he's been always helpful and gave me the opportunity to learn and understand and not just pass the tests.

Excellent comprehensive look at SQL programming fundamentals. Professor was engaging and provided top notch guidance and feedback.

Prof Perry really enjoys teaching and computer programming. His grading was very clear & he quickly responds to any questions regarding assignments via email (within hours). He was always willing to help & really wanted you to learn the material & do well. Attendance in class was not required as the work could be done at home & submitted online.

This on-line course was structured well, the Chapters where in order to make sense learning things first that were needed in later chapters. The videos where easy to follow and exercises and quizzes were appropriate for the content. Gave enough time and ways to access the answers. Timelines were fair....I learned SQL skill set?

For me this is not an exciting subject and Professor Perry made this a very enjoyable class. I would, and have, recommend this class to anyone.

I was very pleased to have taken this class with Prof. Steve Perry. He has an exceptional gift -- a friendly, high-affinity manner for making a complex/intimidating subject seem easy - even fun. I am now confident that I have a sound footing in this subject (SQL with Oracle), and have tentative plans on how I will use it. I recommend his class.

Excellent teacher. Very kind, flexible, and fair grader. Clearly explains all concepts thoroughly. Excellent

ez pz class. needs to go back and polish the chapters so ppl wont be confused with the two different coding in oracle and sQl.

Professor Perry does an outstanding job of conveying the material . The exercises relate directly to the lecture material and give one good opportunity to put into practice the lecture concepts. Assignment expectations are conveyed clearly. He is very timely with answering questions (posted and emailed). I've learned a lot from his courses.

Steve is a great professor, you can tell he really loves his work and the field of IT. Which seeing that passion really helps to get you involved and listening to what he says during lectures. Hes very energetic and Teacher and seems like an all around happy guy. He argues with the book and who wrote it, and then shows you how he would of done it.

I have taken a few classes with Pro. Perry and have learned a lot from him. I enjoy his teaching style and is able to learn the concepts from Pro, Perry.

Professor Steve made the class fun with his silly jokes and comments. I learned a lot and had a blast at the same time.

Steve does a good job of monitoring the discussion board and responding in a timely and appropriate manner. His presentations are well done and he has a good sense of humor.

Steve is passionate about the classes he teaches. His online videos are clear and concise. He is helpful and really wants you to understand the material. He responds very quickly to email questions. He is also funny too. Your grade is based on the programs, participation, and a very short final.

Steve did a good job explaining the material with his on-line videos. My only suggestion would be to add a text book as a reference. Unfortunately, this material is easy to forget. Thx Steve!

Good professor. No book, everything you need is provided online. I enjoyed the class and material was presented clearly.

Steve is a good professor. He was tough on me at first when I did not understand the material. He truly cared and helped me. I bucked down and studied hard and finished with an A. I recommend taking his classes, he is thorough and knowledgable in these subjects. Thanks Steve!

Great and Fun professor, optional textbook. Teaches everything from self-made videos and discourages using external sources for code but sometimes references them.

Teaching web development through a website he built himself, it just makes sense. The class is incredibly easy to understand, his lectures are available easily, all laid out in a comprehensive way. This is easily the most organized online class I have ever taken. Java Script is very useful too.

This on-line class was enjoyable. Learned a lot. The material is well organized and conducive to learning.

Steve brings lots of practical knowlege and experience and a lecture style that highlights the important points.

Responds to questions quickly. Clear syllabus. Know exactly what is expected.

Great teacher for online computer programming class. These classes might be tough for a true beginner. Anyone who has programmed a little before, online is the way to go. Steve has good lectures and class notes. No book. Would definitely take his class again.

I was very pleased to have taken this class with Prof. Steve Perry. He has an exceptional gift -- a friendly, high-affinity manner for making a complex/intimidating subject seem easy - even fun. I was a in the category of beginner with Sql but now i can see myself a step ahead of it.

This was my 2nd class with Professor Perry and I enjoyed it even more than the first. Steve is a great professor who cares about his students and has a true passion for programming. He is knowledgeable and is always willing to help. His classes can be tough, only if you are not dedicated to learning the material. Overall great course and professor.

Over all pretty interesting learning all very the basics of JavaScript, JQuerry, and DOM. CSWB 120 was somewhat time consuming, but the material is good and easy to handle making it easy to learn and earn a good grade in the course.

This was my first class with Professor Perry and I really appreciated his style of teaching. He provided notes, lecture videos and videos for assignments. He was very willing and generous with his knowledge. I would definitely take a class with him again!

Great material and video lessons plus a fair grading system

Good course. Well organized, experienced teacher. Professor Perry does a very good job of teaching you the most important concepts of the subject matter. Only suggestion for him would be to update syllabus to be in sync with optional textbook's chapter page references (for latest textbook version). Look forward to another course with him.

I have taken many classes with Prof. Perry. Online classes are usually confusing and hard to keep up. But I was amazed how well organized Prof. Perry's teaching material is. He is prompt with his replies to your questions. Fair grading and regular feedback to the work you submit.

Most of the material need for the tests were found in the lectures. There were a few instances the answers were outside the course lectures and required some independent thought and the loss of a lot of hair.

Professor Perry was amazing for my online JavaScript class. His lectures were on point. He made the assignments regarding the lecture so that you would have to completely understand the material in his lecture. The best thing was his engagement. Many online professors launch the class and never show. Perry was there answering people's questions

Ive taken Oracle DBMS, JavaScript, php and soon advanced JavaScript. Professor perry is by far my favorite teacher ever. His lectures are clear and to the point. He is accessible, he is responsive and caring. I would strongly recommend this professor

Steve Perry has set up his own lectures/and exercises online. There was no need to purchase any overpriced books, and his tutorials were very informative. He is always quick to reply to questions and heavily involved in class discussion. The course was a challenge, but he taught it well. I really wish the rest of my classes were in this format.

I took CSIT 150 intro to SQL as the first class back to receive a certificate in Information Technology. Prof Perry made the material very clear and simple to learn with his online lectures and examples. He was very understanding if things popped up out of the norm and was very helpful when there were questions needing answers.

First Online. Has his own website that feeds you through the class. Plenty of videos directing your path. Also he has pdf's with the same or extra & example code you can dl. He gives small exercises no grade then a graded lab/assignment. Read the assignment it is more like a directed how to. Discussion group with his always participation for help.

Great online portal to learn PHP and SQL languages. Steve Perry knows his stuff and offered quality videos and sample code to make learning fun.

Steve was a champ as always. I've had him for CSIT 150 (SQL), CSWB 120 (JavaScript+jQuery), and CSWB 180 (Python). He imparts usable information at a reasonable pace. He is exceptionally well at predicting what will confuse his students, and addresses those concerns in the videos or lesson text. Finished projects are great reference material.

Steve was a champ as always. I've had him for CSIT 150 (SQL), CSWB 120 (JS+jQuery), and CSWB 135 (Advanced JS + Apps). He imparts usable information at a reasonable pace. He is exceptionally well at predicting what will confuse his students, and addresses those concerns in the videos or lesson text. Finished projects are great reference material.

Great professor. Doesn't require you to purchase a textbook as all his material is on his site. If you need a textbook you probably aren't reading OR paying attention to his lectures properly. Definitely a fun yet sometimes tricky class. All lectures/assignments are on his website and he provides timely feedback to questions you ask him. Great clas

Lecture/Assignment/Discussion each week. No surprises and no deviations from the syllabus. If you are a beginner in this class, don't be intimidated! He broke everything down and made it super easy to follow. He also has a test environment so you can experiment and really get familiar with the concepts. Great class, highly recommend this professor!

Dr. Perry is one of the most caring professors I've had at Palomar. I'm not a computer science major but needed one of his classes to complete my GE. I was struggling, but he showed so much flexibility that I may or may not have deserved at times. As long as you do the work and study, you will be just fine. I highly reccomend him.

Class is organized and easy to follow along. Assignments get progressively harder, with a noticable jump in difficulty mid-way through. Provides good feedback and will update grades if you reach out with corrections to programs. Textbook has topics not covered in modules, and its not on Palomar bookstore so be willing to make that purchase.

If you rely on AI to program for you or don't like to be challenged, don't take this class. It's pretty straight forward and the grading is fair; you have more than one opportunity to pass assignments required to move forward. That being said, this class is very challenging as you have to do a lot of debugging on your own. But that's how you learn.

This class was great! I went from knowing very little about programming to feeling like I have a pretty solid foundation now. Just keep in mind that the online class had only like 1 assignment every 1-2 weeks, with some discussions here and there. Each assignment can take you a bit of time, so just make sure you don't wait too long to do them!
