Completely agree with that.

I can't disagree with that, but being from the self-taught category myself, I would probably recommend to try learning stuff by yourself at first. A good coder has to be a fast and independent learner anyways. So, if one can't master something alone maybe programming is just not for him/her.

It's not that cheap. Maybe it's easier (and free as well) just to learn those things by yourself.
