How to Teach Yourself Web Development

Agree with pick, give, commit and engage but I can’t go with ignore. While it’s true I am ancient, what this advice assumes is that older web devs stop learning. Any developer who does that will soon be an ex-developer, young or old. What you get from experienced devs is (or should) is not how to implement specific technology but how to approach it, how to think about it and how to come up with your own answers. As newz2000 says, that kind of mentoring is invaluable.
