I'd say the best developers are self taught and by that I mean autodidacts. Those few courses in college are great but if you don't keep "schooling yourself" you won't ever be very good. Something I do think is great about formal education is that you are forced to metaphorically, "eat your vegetables" i.e. learn some fundamental things that aren't interesting or aren't as interesting as some other things you would study if it wasn't for a test.
