- Taught myself. - The only upaid work I did was side-projects or OSS contributions. - Probably like 4 or 5 years. I started in high school, and then started doing freelance gigs in college. - First gig was with a local magazine. I was doing Photoshop to HTML/CSS work (I also know Adobe CS stuff). Then I started doing PHP scripting for them. Then I moved on to a couple WordPress sites and more PHP work. Now I have one part-time client I do more PHP work for, and I take on a gig in Python or Ruby every once in a while. Though I'm looking for Clojure work.
