I do websites, me
I'd done a couple of static sites and then thought I'd learn how to do dynamic sites with ASP with a MS Access database backend. I created a site that had a search box that brought up results from the database, had a section to add, change and delete records and even a login section.
But, it was all done using the wizards and automated stuff in Dreamweaver, I still didn't know how to code anything except the most basic of stuff.

I then managed to blag a job as a developer by demonstrating the site I had done.

The first few sites I worked on were static, or were updates to basic stuff rather than any serious behind the scenes programming. But sometimes, I had to code something. I mainly fudged my way through using a combination of the Dreamweaver wizards, asking for help from the senior developer and asking questions on forums such as Webthang
I lasted almost three months before I came unstuck and couldn't fix a certain bit of quite simple functionality to do with databases or something. The boss called me in and told me that I wasn't a the developer that either of us thought I was and congratulated me on blagging it for so long. I was given an extra 2 weeks pay and shown the door.

Three months? Jesus - I got away with ten years of it
