I was asked by my brother to create a web site to sell his friends surf videos. This was back in 2001 or so. I didn't have a clue, but bought some books and threw a functioning site together in 2 weeks. Got paid about $1700.
So I turned around and coded a porn review site. With in months I was making $1500 from my little site with its crap graphics and crap layout.
Then I reverse engineered a system I saw somebody else doing and it made me $10k a month. And I quit my day job and programmed things for myself as my own boss and employee.
Lately I've been going back in and coding things the "correct" way.
Along the way I learned a lot of programming languages and web related stuff. It really helps to put what you are learning into something functional so you can see it in action. Especially when doing object oriented programming.
