Have you self-taught yourself anything dealing with software?

In terms of developing software, have you taught yourself anything using tools and knowledge you found online?

Most of what I have learned about servers and web development has come from picking things up online. I self-taught myself with Linux as well.

In regard to web development, I seriously haven't read any books. It's all hands-on stuff. It came about from messing around with the stuff.

Also, I have played around with digital art and music notation software. Again, it's all hands-on learning.

I find it is better to learn things hands-on than to actually go to school with it. I mean anyone in development will tell you to have some background knowledge goes a long way. It is senseless to get higher education with no prior knowledge.

I was using Mint but switched to Fedora 34 Cinnamon. I only ran Unbuntu once on my laptop and didn't care for it, I have Mint on there now.

I self taught myself to design websites, especially wordpress websites. I created my first self hosted website by reading and watching tutorials online. When I started I had zero knowledge and in 6 months, I was running multiple wordpress websites, including blogs, forums, online stores, and ecommerce sites.

All my web development knowledge has been from messing around with software. I haven't learned anything from books. In fact, in my 30s, I was on disability and never worked. I spent all my time doing web development or going to college to study mathematics.
