I learned from experience, events, and mistakes. Mostly mistakes! Although I must admit I did Google search a lot of my problems and queries (not really sure if Google counts as an external source). Every time I tried reading a manual my mind would slowly drift away from the boring text. I personally prefer to learn through experience rather than from a book.

All of the above.:) YouTube is a good source of ideas, tricks, and hints. (Just type: How to...) Google is a good place too. There are a TON of free sites, blogs, etc out there where you can get good advice on how to get up and running.

I first had a website that I stumbled through on my own and the help of a WYSIWYG. I later learned through a tutoring website and even better WYSIWYGs and just doing the coding by myself. Got pretty fancy for awhile. I thought it was fun.

I truly enjoyed learning from experience. I have built and maintained various types of sites for myself, friends and clients for nearly a decade now and the things I remember and apply the most are codes I learned from trial and error. I have had to research how to code certain things from books and the internet, but I know now that I have to make notes as to how to do them as those lessons do not stick as well as when you remove one semicolon and the the whole darn site turns to one big 404 error...
