It's pretty good, but you need to add the definite article (The) to the beginning. Also, 'watching' is a big vague - you might want to use the word 'observation' which is used much more in the professional realm. I agree that 'self-taught 'is not ideal (better than self-learned though - this suggests you are educated about your self, not about computing!). Ultimately, the 'self' part can be implicit, so I would just write 'learned.'
"The majority of my computer knowledge has been learned through experimentation, reading and observation."

You might want to include the article "A" at the beginning of the sentence so it reads "A majority of my computer knowledge has been self-taught through experimentation, reading, and watching."

The majority of my computer knowledge has been self-taught through experimentation, reading, and watching.
Or it could be written this way:

I think self - taught is fine. but watching is so weird. lol. why not observation??? and you can use research instead of reading. sounds better and it means (almost) the same. the rest is good.
The majority of my computer knowledge has been self-taught through experimentation, research, and observation.
how's that?

It isn't parallel.
It should be "The majority of my computer knowledge has been self-taught through experimenting, reading, and watching.
Now all your direct objects are gerunds acting as nouns.

Add "The" to the begining of the sentence and de-caps the M. Otherwise it looks good to me.
