At 37 years, you can still become what you want to be. Greatness is locked in you. It's only you that can unlock it. If you begin now, in the next 3 years or less, you should be able to be one of the African web developers. If you give this your time, you will be amazed how far you will see yourself. You must start now, not tomorrow. Start learning immediately. Start practicing immediately. You should have at least internet connection. So head straight to: http://www.html.net and learn their tutorials on HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT and PHP. They discussed these languages very well. Download notepad++ at: http://www.notepad-plus-plus.org. This is a wonderful and powerful text editor for Windows. Download it, install it and use it to learn and practice.

If you have good internet connection and you like learning with videos, then watch these wonderful more than 30 videos on html and css titled "30 days to learn html and css" by Jeffrey Ways of http://www.net.tutsplus.com.

You can also occasionally or always visit: http://www.alistapart.com and read articles and tutorials on some trends going on in this industry.
