As I feel the need to broaden my horizons and exercise my brain a bit, I am beginning the process of trying to learn web development. I am not sure where I am going with this, but I am very interested in the subject matter. (I already have a good career in accounting/finance and so do not have near term career ambitions for web design...but we shall see). I am starting at the bottom, from scratch. I am also starting with some of the free tutorial resources I have found so far on the web. I will see how it goes with those.
With that in mind, does anybody out there work or at least dabble in this field? It seems a lot of the people on this site seem to know a fair amount about this area. If so, if you have any good recommendations on websites to check out that will help my learning, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, let me know what your educational background is...did you take formal classes in college or are you self taught? Just curious as to whether I would be better off signing up for some classes at a local Tech school or college - versus going a self-taught/web based learning path. Your opinions are greatly appreciated
(p.s. Tony - I have no ambitions to design/develop a competing travel website - PROMISE!!)
