•Because I love to build something

from scratch. It's like building a house
from step one. Building web is no
different.

•I am afraid of making slow program
performance especially if I am working
on backend. Better web must have a
fast performance.

I think a passion for building stuff is probably the best drive to start developing, there are no rules for learning to program, the things you should avoid are only the things you feel like aren't contributing to your progress. my advice is to just start, if you have any idea of something you would like to create try to create a pragmatic list of thing you need to know in order the start and start executing :)

I would not wory about performance issue too much if you're just getting started, you would be supprised how little web development deal with performance issues compared to other aspects of web development.

Good luck
