Is it literally possible to ever become a professional web developer or programmer, without ever stepping in a university ?

I'm studying at home because I don't have money to go to any university or college. But I want to be a professional programmer.

hell yaa! i really does not matters if you ever went to collage. But by this way you must make a strong portfolio ( list of applications and programms you've created) you can literally forget about collage if your portfolio is impressive enough. here are some suggestions i would like to give you, 1. find a mentor : you surely can learn all of it without a teacher but if you get someone to teach you , the whole learning process gets boosted you can also pay a professional programmer in ur local area and be with him during his coding hours. 2. Never expect that u will get everything for free: believe me there is no such thing as free lunch in this world. pay for the online courses like cleverprogeammer coursera udemy codecademy they can be greatly useful here are some names which i found while finding python lessions on youtube sentdex automate boring stuff using python onestopprogramming cleverp programmer here are some books that might help you automate the boring stuff with python (yes it is a book and a vedio seriese and a web link as well ) learn python the hard way imp links mit 6.0.0 cleverprogrammer.com trinket.io repl.it codecademy khanaccademy

Of course. A college or university is just for more 'official' look. You can become a professional at anythig without ever going to college as long as you are dedicated and can work hard. Programming especially does not require college. In fact, when I interviewed a programmer last year, he told me his greatest regret was going to college. He thought it was a waste of time and money. Hopefully that answers ypur question!
