[FX.php List] Just Curious

[Michael Layne]

I found myself in front of a computer in college trying to build a  
database to manage a small business with DATAEASE (anyone heard of  
that?).

Since then, it's been entirely self-taught XHTML, CSS, PHP,  
FileMaker, MySQL, etc. - one note - most "self-taught" folks must  
give some credit to those that post things for us from which we learn  
(like Chris Hansen).

I think that's pretty common - the self-taught bit.  All those people  
that took PHP or FileMaker in college are now accountants, history  
professors, or sherpas.
