Graphics, Java, CGI

[Earl Young]

     The way I learned the graphics programs is to get the software - I 
     started with Photoshop which is cheaper - and start hacking with it.  
     Download a bunch of images from some of the Web sites and start 
     editing.  There is an enormous amount of similiarity between various 
     image editors.  Most of the same techniques are found in the top 
     several.
     
     There are a number of good shareware routines from CNET and ZDNET that 
     can get you started/

I'd like to expand my skills into writing CGI scripts, and 
learning a graphics program such as Adobe Photoshop.  I know a 
little C, but unfortunately, most  of the CGI books are written 
for Perl, and I'm not finding that so easy to learn.
     
I'm interested in hearing how others, not naturally adept at 
programming and such, have picked up such skills.  I see a lot 
of courses in the NY Metro area in learning HTML, but that's 
not what I need - I want to go a bit further.  And there seems 
to be a huge number of places offering intros to Photoshop, but 
I wish I had some way of figuring out which of those places do 
a good job at teaching it.  
     
Advice sought!
