Sounds like you'd be more interested in the engineering/administrative side of it. As a point of contrast, Magpie went to college for multimedia and art, and a lot of the people she was in class with ended up in web design. The coding aspects of it are less emphasised than the artistic aspects of it (which, incidentally, is partly why a lot of people in the field have a less than stellar opinion of web developers).
VB is slick, but it's crap. You're better off not pursuing that avenue anyway, in my not at all humble opinion.
ratbastid brings up Perl in jest, but if you don't know it yet, start learning.
DIY for the technically minded: grab an O'Reilly book and start screwing around. A new reference book will go for about $60, and if you can set up a little testing rig to play around on you can probably teach yourself the basics at home.
