Web site design/development, is it something i can learn on my own?

[rickybellanco]

I am a computer engineer, hardware is my thing, i've recently relocated to a developing country and quickly realised that i'll make more money developing web sites for companies and individuals, is it something i can learn by myself using books and resources on the internet or do i need to go back to school. I want to be very good at it and give my customers the best services they can get even if they hired an experienced web developer

I did that. So it's possible! ;-)

It depends on your will. It is possible to learn web development. I started learning when I was only 13 and now, 16, I am already a freelance web developer. Just read lots of books and practice. For design, get inspiration from different sites and archive them for your reference.
