I should quantify that with my own little bit of history.  I started
writing programs at about 10 years old using an embedded BASIC that
came with the old TRS-80 from Radio Shack.  From there, I took a
couple Adult Ed classes at Roanoke College and learned more Basic and
Pascal.  Then I tinkered through high school, but took Computer
Science classes there and learned qBasic and Pascal.

Then I spend a semester at college and got into C++ and VB, but that
ended abruptly due to life getting int the way..So I self taught,
based on what I'd learned previously and finally got back into school
and picked up VB.NET, C++, C, SQL, PLSQL, *HTML, JavaScript, Java, CSS
and XML.  Then back to self taugh after I graduated.... :-)

There's no reason why the both can't work together.  You can self
teach all the code in the world, just as if English was not your
native tongue , you could learn it by reading  a dictionary.  However,
you'll only have words at that point, and no grammar.  So you take an

English class and there you get the structure and the grammar of the
language and build on what you already know.

Does that make any sense?
