How long will it take me to become a Web Designer/Developer?

it completely depends on u. how fast u can grasp the knowledge. designing knowledge can be obtained within a month. but programming knowledge takes more time minimum 3 to 4 months to know a programming knowledge if u can adopt. mind it programming is not very easy to learn. but 1 thing is javascript not a so called programming language. it's used only for designing purpose and some client side programming. to make a webpage dynamic u can not do this with javascript. u have to use php or java or asp or asp.net etc...to make a page dynamic. but u have lots of questions in ur mind. u have to decide first what u like to do designing or programming? caz whatever u try to learn will need passion and hard work. so prepare urself at first then take actions. business or job it is also depends on u. caz in job there will b no risk, but in business u have to accept profit as well as loss. u can do a job and can work as a freelancer side by side. lastly everything depends on u... best of luck

I've been doing this stuff for two years and I know PHP, HTML, Javascript, Java, C++, Perl, CSS, and GML .. I learned php from w3schools.com A very good website to learn from! =) Also I would get a Mac! Macs cannot get viruses... And expect a fairly large salary..
