Hmmm. Been in the industry since the early 90's, mostly self taught but I have had some formal education in Sofware Development. I have degrees in Math and Physics, so no direct degree. I have a LOT of experience in the industry but I don't do a whole lot of development as a programmer any more. I actually do more development as a hobbyist now than I do in my job though I have done a fair amount of scripting and some Java development in the last year. Mostly utility stuff. If you want to learn to do it, the best way is to just do it. Lots of free compilers and information on the web. Just dig in.
