Runningwater

Now, that I'm changing my lifestyle around a bit (a lot less World of Warcraft), I'm finding I have a little bit of extra time. I would like to better myself in an area that I love doing so that I can get paid for it.

I was very good in web development and my VB.net classes in college, however that was about 3 years ago, and I haven't done any of that stuff since. I really want to be brought up to date on it and get comfortable enough doing some minor pages (for a "Portfolio"). I was wondering if anyone knew of any good "teach yourself" online sites or programs.

My ultimate goal is to be a professional web development/designer. It is one thing that I really do enjoy and think that I am decent at doing...and I completely believe that if you love what you're doing you'll succeed!
