This question comes up often when people are changing avenues in life and, it usually provokes the answer: "it depends".
It depends on what kind of a student you are.
If
you are the type that needs someone to guide you in person, and to help
you understand the material, then you are probably better off taking a
web design course.
If, however, you are the type of student who learns easily from a book, then just learn this stuff on your own.
I
went to a Computer Programming course in college. It offered one lonely
class in HTML. I got hooked. I wanted more but the college didn't offer
career choices; everything I know now, I basically learned on my own,
reading through the endless blogs of well-known people in the web business like Jeffrey Zeldman, Dan Cederholm, and Roger Johanssen.
The bottom line is that some people just can't learn from scratch by
reading books or online tutorials. They need someone in front of them,
interacting with them; and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
