yes did it myself

I remember making my first hyperlink actually to work and I was so happy lol

Taught myself in 1998 and haven't looked back.

Taught myself back in 98 or so with a learn html in 30 days type book.

I got a WebTV shortly after they came out. That was my internet access at home for a year+. After playing around with it's limitations and discovering online pagebuilders several of us in a user group started toying around with making WebTV friendly pages.

To look at the source HTML of a page I had to type it's address into an online HTML validator. This is how I learned the fundamentals of HTML, along with help from online tutorials and pooling knowlege with the others doing the same.

This is before they added copy/cut & paste ability to WebTV in 1997 so I had to had carefully print any coding / scripts I wanted to use in a notebook and type it in to the online editor from that. I quickly learned how important every little ' was.:1orglaugh That's right, to move text/coding around on a page, I had to delete it and type it all back in where I wanted it. I was so happy when they added cc&p to WebTV and even happier when I got a PC at home in 98:)

Many will tell you that WebTV is a piece of crap but I will tell you that if it weren't for it and I had put a PC in the house before it I would likely have used programs to create my earlier pages and I know I would not have gotten such a in-depth "hands on" foundation of HTML.

I've tried several HTML editors over the years but I always went back to Notepad and use only it now.

Wow web design in WebTV?? That would be hard! I had web tv for 6 mos in 98 but I spent many of afternoons at my mom's using her PC till I got all the parts I wanted for building my 1st PC

Self taught..trial and error

i taught myself pretty much everything, from unix administration, to network security. html, nothing schools can teach you. you have to learn stuff on your own to make it in this world.

Taught myself at work when I had nothing to do. Then got hold of a copy of Dreamweaver, discovered people made money pushing porn online, started doing that, quit my job and now do it full time. :)

I taught myself as well!:winkwink:

I tought it to myself shorlty after I discovered the web

I have really never used the web outside of business I use it for everything now but back in 1995 when I found it all I did was work on it

Learned Perl first then just picked up html along the way

Trust me, at times it was a PITA. I could have used a friend's PC but I realized at the time it was a great way to learn and I was enjoying hanging out with a bunch of folks in a couple of WebTV internal newsgroups we had turned into "classrooms". One of the guys that started out with us eventually ended up doing a great online tutorial that is still up today http://www.draac.com/

People created a lot of online tools that let WebTVers do many of the things PC pagebuilders do that the WebTV unit couldn't do itself. The WebTV Plus added video capture which gave WebTVers a way to add pictures that didn't require someone with a PC to scan them in for them. Online "transloaders" added limited FTP operations. There have actually been some very nice sites created entirely with a WebTV, a fact I attribute to that it required people to get creative to get around it's limitations.

Self mostly. From viewing source and finding syntax online when needed.
Also basic, pascal, c, assembly, perl, php, javascript.. whatever will do the jobs required.
Bring it on, I'm game. :)

teached myself long ago with a book i got at the american bookstore in the hague... still got it here.. i use FP now but still make changes by hand in scripts etc

taught myself when i was about 14 ... learning html is like learning to count to 1-9, very easy, basic and simple.. but used all the time.
