To take classes in Web Programming (Ruby, PHP, etc) what Univ. offers the most rigor/variety?

Author: Mainly for summer classes/independent program, but also undergrad or masters. I’m want to avoid any non-web oriented programming classes
Most colleges don’t offer degrees in Web programming; Web programming is a small part of a larger concentration in programming.
In other words, you can want to avoid non-Web programming classes all you want, but in a university setting, you’re learning a lot more than PHP or Ruby.
You would be better served looking at technical / community colleges and skills training centers. For example, Microsoft has "partners in learning" who will teach you ASP.NET; many of those centers also teach PHP, Ruby, etc.

This is the same thing as asking which colleges offer the most rigorous classes on hitting nails with a hammer. The answer is - there are no such colleges, because top institutions expect their students to be able to learn it themselves.
The same thing applies to programming. If you want a university that will hold your hand and help you learn such simple concept as a programming language syntax, then go to your local community college.
