    <ul> <li>Set up your own website and code it by hand, as others have suggested. There are many free resources on the web to get you started.</li> <li>Once you have your crappy-looking site in place (and understand how you did it), Google for a free web template or web design tutorials and spend a little time trying to make it look a little less like crap.</li> <li>Rather than focusing (at first) on learning a new language, why not work on applying a language you already know in the real world? There are tons of open source projects out there - I'm sure you can find something interesting that uses Java. Knowing how to use one or two languages really well and understanding real world development challenges is a lot more useful (again, in the "real" world) than knowing 5 languages and having only worked through books and samples.</li> <li>Got this far? Great! Now add a resume/CV page to the website you created in step one that includes all your new open source project experience. Or better yet, start writing your own "real" product or OSS application.</li> <li>Oh yeah, and in your spare time after your job or between sessions working on your first product, that's when you start monkeying around with Ruby or Python or Cocoa or whatever else floats your boat. Have fun!</li> </ul> <p>EDIT: This SO question will point you in the right direction for HTML resources: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/774159/what-are-some-good-html-beginner-tutorials">What are some good HTML beginner tutorials?</a> I would personally stick to online resources and skip books for this since it is such a general, well-covered topic.</p>
