I still wouldn't consider myself an expert by any means, but I know enough to fix other peoples code. On the other hand, JavaScript and CSS I have worked extensively with over the past few years, and have learned much more than any one book can teach. The book approach is great for an introduction, but to really understand a subject, I need to spend time, lots of time. That’s how I learned JAVA and PHP ^_^.
