Our field is wonderful in the way it encourages and rewards those who, with or without formal training, make things people want. Learn by doing. And if you feel now or in the future that you'd like a dash of fundamentals to go with your programming practice, you have options beyond those of traditional education. For example, Udacity has a great Introduction to Computer Science online class: https://www.udacity.com/course/cs101 https://www.udacity.com/course/cs101 The free courseware includes the lectures and auto-graded exercises. It's Python-based, but goes beyond programming languages to touch on foundational CS concepts in general. Recommended.
