Listen, I got a job as a web developer in 1998, having written one five-line CGI script in my life. With the Camel Book at my side, I developed my fluency in Perl and Apache and MySQL, and eventually became Executive VP of the company before spinning off my own business. If you'd asked me, at the beginning, whether that would be possible, I'd have punched you in the nose.

Stay the course. You're smart, you're interested, and you're motivated. A little butterflies-in-the-what-the-hell-am-I-oh-dear-god is normal.

Incidentally, I'm always looking for good freelance designers to work with. Are you a regular employee, or a contract worker?
