Hello to everyone from sunny California. My name is Bryan and I'm 28 years old. I'm a husband father of 3 and I'm trying to switch my career focus from SEO to either Web Dev in asp.net or software dev. I've been doing SEO for 3 years and decided that the luster of SEO is not there anymore, mainly due to the fact my current industry is the same 'ol thing. Content, links blah, blah blah. After 3 years of ranking websites it's time for a change and that's when asp.net fell into my lap.
Since March 2008 (it's now November) I have been spending all of my free time learning C# and Asp.net. I've given up T.V. and video games (which are my favorite past times) to get into the field. I'm here to not only learn but hopefully get some advice from people who didn't get a computer science degree on how they entered the field, tips, and to hopefully stick with a community to learn (not for SEO purposes).
If you have any advice for me on how to enter the field I'm all open for suggestions.
