No any 5-10 day courses make you a good software developer. 5-10 years of practice and learning maybe do. If you want to work in a software company you need a degree. If you want to work as a freelancer then not (but may help). For Web Development learn PHP and Javascript (and HTML5+CSS, and SQL+noSQL). To become a really good programmer learn C (C++ ?), Python, and some marginal languages - Lisp/Scheme or Erlang or Scala are good choices. Don't waste time for .NET and C#, but knowing of Java and Java infrastructure may help to have a piece of bread (though I don't know as long). Participating in open source projects is a great thing for getting real programming skills.

Everything is IMO, of course. (I have a degree but I didn't work long enough as a programmer. Now I'm trying to work as a freelancer, get a little but not quite satisfied - too little practice, and as you can see my English is not good enough too).
