How to construct a web developer in twelve months

This is a great starting list, would it be possible to even go a step further and put starting times for each of them. Of course many of the steps continue to go on long after they start... does a developer ever stop reading HN? But many of the later items like play/build are a bit later than day 1 for someone looking to dive into this.

I think this is a well balanced plan and would produce a rounded web developer, I've been doing php development part time since last September, but previous to that I was hacking on whatever idea I could come up with.

As the article implies, read some books, but once u get bored with literature, open up an IDE(or vim) and code any idea that springs to mind.

Doesn't really have to be useful( advantage if it is ), just something that you want.

Great article, some great resources which could take someone months to find on their own.

another option is to stop reading superfluous lists on how to become a web developer on the net and actually try to code something.
