I'm not a professional by any mean, and have only put up my own websites. I found the whole learning process very confusing for years--I would start, then get frustrated and go ack to repairing watches. The books were boring; especially the 500 page block typed phone books--without any graphics. Well things have gotten much better; the books still need improvement, but are much better. I don't know why someone hasen't used the comic book format to get across complex subjects--yes, I believe the less words you use to expain something is Holy. I'm running on like so many teachers do. To your question; starting web developement. My advise is you don't need to know everything about all subjects. A good beginning course on web developement, and computer science is cs 75 at Harvard(it's free, a little outdated, but once you start to hear the computer lingo--it makes further learning less daunting. Get to know Firebug, and source page. Look at the source code for simple websites. Copy it, change it, see how the tags are used(html and css). Everything is free if you look around. Oh, yea--get comfortable with the command line. You will eventually need it, unless you just want to do front end work. (I'm not in the computer industry, but I have heard there are front end designers who just use html, and css--and get paid?) As to those Coding boot Camps--they seem great, but look expensive, or have a catch. There's a free one in San Francisco. They take a percentage of your salary when hired. I looked into that school and the catch was they pretty much only accepted people with CS degrees, or the equivenent. These students would ave eventually got jobs if they studied the right material.(I did copy their curriculim though--It makes a good map of where I need to go.) Another Boot Camp I looked at was expensive, and only accepted women. Why just women? I think the founder of the school knew that Computer Nerds just might question the value of what they were teaching--eventually. I'm not being sexist--I just know that most women are not interested in ths stuff, and html seems like science. Good luck to whom ever asked for advise. One other thing, get regular exercise, and when you are watching the teaching videos-- rember you can always speed them up--1.5 was good for me if the teacher was native, and had reasonable diction. Actually I downloaded all of cs75 on my IPod, and listened to David and the rest on my nightly walks. After, awhile it all started to fit together. Good luck!
