Now to put my comment into context : I'm self taught. I can now code quite comfortably in: c#, python, html, css, JavaScript, php, MySQL queries and can learn most frameworks fairly quickly. (Infact I probably missed a few things I have played with over the years). Point being: if you can code htnl/css, from my point of view, it isn't such a stretch to learn a more formal language is it? (I did start with Qbasic and vb though, so I may be coming at this from the wrong direction?) Edit: after reading some more of these comments I can almost understand, but wouldn't someone who was able to show how they could work with htnl/css show at least a basic understanding at a technical level and be worthwhile at an entry level position?

> Point being: if you can code htnl/css, from my point of view, it isn't such a stretch to learn a more formal language is it? No, it isn't, if that's your thing. Personally, there are days I regret being a programmer and wish I had just stuck with being a designer. Usually, it's the point where I'm struggling to come up with something unique or distinctive. Or when I realize that if I'd focused more on design, then I might be amazing at it, rather than mediocre at design and programming. But that's me. You do you.

  Hmm maybe it's my point of view then - I only code in my free time or for some contracts I manage to pick up. I had assumed anyone that bothered to learn html/css would be interested in coding in general though.
