Continued Learning

30% of my work related web skills have been obtained through personal learning through popular text on various web topics like jQuery, proper usages of CSS/XHTML, PHP/MySQL. The final 70% of my web skills have been procured through real-world experience and trial and error on web projects. In my line of work, there seems to be a shortage of college level instruction that could truly be called a benefit. Real world experience and training over book learning is essential to being a top level web developer.
