Yep. I am serious on self-studying to become a web programmer. I just bought three computer books. One is about general computer concepts, one is for HTML, and the other about Perl. I didn’t buy PHP books since there are a lot of free ebooks about it, which of course, I already downloaded. 

I bought the general book about Computers to get a good grasp of everything, from hardwares to softwares, understanding operating systems, the internet, networking, creating websites, etc… It’s interesting that when I was in High School, I took for granted all these basic concepts, and now I am reading each of them with so much appreciation, like what bit means and byte.

The HTML book was not just about HTML, it also discussed XML, and DHTML, and a few javascript.

And the last book, about Perl programming, I bought it because I want to create a tool that pertains to Unicode transliteration. ( I won’t tell you about it. lol. ) It may take time before I start creating the codes for this tool though since I don’t have much free time. One thing is I know for sure. I really want to create that program because it will make my life easier.

All these three computer books were really cheap, and they were published recently so I know they are updated. These also have an online sites, where I can answer interactive tests, links to other resources, and download sample files I need when I make my own program. (I am referring to the site for the Perl.) 

Well, wish me good luck with my self study. Even though it looked like that I went back to College and wasting my time for not working in a company, I am enjoying what I am doing, and I think that is the most important.
