Hi I’m a professional Web Developer, I just signed up so I can reply to ‘Porty’, contrary to popular belief w3scools.com is in no way affiliated with the ‘w3c’ (World Wide Web Consortium, those that make the web standards), they actually have A LOT of mistakes on their website, learning from them will only get you used to bad coding, go to http://www.w3fools.com and see what they have to say.
P.S. To answer OPs question, I went to an expensive school in Manhattan, and I’m a ‘Developer’ not a ‘Designer’…
Good luck on whatever you end up doing…
