Join a startup or any firm that will take you as a web developer (HTML,
CFML, SQL, VB, etc). Ideally they will already have a senior CF developer
that you can pick up a few things from. You'll want to get at least 12-18
months under your belt after which you can pick which company you want to
join. In my case I came from an econ background, took 8 months of classes in
C/C++ at GWU, and was asked up by a startup web firm/friends to do HTML, ASP
and CF.. so basically self taught as are a lot of people here. Just remember
not to shy away from the challenging stuff, or stuff you haven't done. Thats
where you learn the most.
