You first need some CS background ('CS', for lack of a better term. I don't mean Automata, just something deeper than, say, lynda.com!). Check out Harvard CS50

You first need some CS background ('CS', for lack of a better term. I don't mean Automata, just something deeper than, say, lynda.com!). Check out Harvard CS50 (cs50.tv), MIT OCW (ocw.mit.edu), see.stanford.edu, udacity, coursera, academicearth.org and Khan Academy (and in a few months, http://edxonline.org/ http://edxonline.org/). Start at the basic courses (CS50 is the best starting point). That's the best thing you can do. Sure, you can start coding right now but you don't know what you're missing. You have the luxury of not having to worry about money in the sort term, so make the most out of it and educate yourself. You'll get nowhere if you don't know the fundamentals of how computers/web/operating systems/... work.
