Hi guys,
Im 37, and just trying to actually get started in the web industry......some might say im starting a little late, but i absolutely love designing and coding (even though there is a limit at present to what i can do).
My background is -
Have been building and repairing computers for over 25 years, and have also 3 years ago completed a web design home study course, which was meant to take a year but only took me two months as i really got into it. I did apply for a position as a junior developer in Colchester area, and got offered the job due to my enthusiasm, but due to personal circumstances had to take a different job. (still regret this to this day). I play around with photoshop in my spare time, and i also have tried to get back into the "self-teaching" route again, but find it hard to stick to it. Spoke to a customer in my current role and he said that he worked for an SEO company, whcih interested me aswell.
Bottom line i know i have to learn HTML, CSS, PHP, Mysql and photoshop. but find it hard where to start. Thinking of getting either a new laptop to kick it all off, or doubling up with another monitor on my main pc.......
Anyway, thats gotta be the most boring intro.....but ...well.....thats where i am at the moment.....
