I just did that! Here's how I did it.

I had a job working as a marketing director, but I got bored, so I quit my job. Then, I started working on www.trailbehind.com in April. Now, I have angel funding and know a lot of javascript, python, and CSS.

There's no book, or method, or realization that will make you a programmer. You just have to start programming something.

Once you have programmed a thousand line system that does something cool you are a programmer. At least that's what my buddy told me.
