I was self taught for 3 years, then I started college where I took web design and programming courses. The funny thing about the courses, though, was they just followed the book. If you know what book a specific university is going to use, just read that book and teach yourself. I got an A in every web design and programming class I took and most of the time I had over 100% in those classes. You can read tutorials and ask questions on forums, and know a language just as well as you would with formal training.
