I'd agree. When I started at my current job (my first real programming job, other than what I did when trying to learn), I knew very little of HTML, JavaScript, or any other language, really. In the year and a half since I've been here, I've learned quite a bit, becoming (in my humble opinion ;) ) one of our best coders, and if you're dedicated to learning and succeeding, you really can't go wrong. Like the poster above me, just go for it and try.
