I basically learned ALL of my programming (from BASIC, FORTRAN, SNOBOL4, LISP,
Pascal, C/C++, Java, Assembler [8008/8080, 6502, 68000, CDC CYBER, and VAX],
Cobol, APL, Tcl/Tk, to HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript), pretty much on my own
(mostly self-taught, with some courses here and there), mostly from books and
"just doing it". (And yes, that includes writing PHP, etc. within the
WordPress environment.)
