The first option is probably not worth it. At that point you might as well go to a good uni and get a computer science(super in demand degree) major with a minor or concentration in graphic design. It'll be about the same cost wise especially if you enroll in a community college for the first two years. CC is also another option to find some web design classes. Your spare time should be spent learning the web design stuff on the side. Like HiFlo said all the web designers I know started out in it as a hobby, as web design and web programming typically isn't taught with much depth in most curriculums, although you may find a course or two in more progressive CS, IT and/or MIS programs. Your best bet is to look online. For server side stuff check out this link from Harvard.

For HTML, CSS, and Web design the Head First series is in its own class, as I can attest personally(they also have great reviews). Find at your local library or cop online via Amazon or the links below:

Lastly, for databases(essential for server side stuff) check out this great database ebook from IBM. Covers all the theory with lots of practical examples.

Happy coding.
Thanks man, I actually just downloaded a good PHP video tutorial; planning to start doing that in a month or so.
Are you a programmer or a web designer?
