Self-Publishing class tomorrow

Tomorrow I am going to a self-publishing class at my local rec center. I'm interested to learn about self-publishing because although I have a B.A. in English I learned very little about e-book publishing. I'm interested to learn about self-publishing online because creative writing is a passion of mine and I am nearing the finishing edits of my first novel. I'm debating if it's better to try and get it published through a publisher or self-publish it myself. In this blog I will debate that.
