Blattttttt... fllit.
We know - and are not afraid to use - the following technologies,
and employ them on a daily basis:
* PHP
<Good to have, but not needed>
(and usually at least a working knowledge of C/C++ and
some others)
</Good to have, but not needed>
* HTML
* JavaScript
* AJAX
* Web design
* Human Interface/Graphical User Interface (GUI) layout and design
* SQL (specifically MySQL, but many also know PostgreSQL,
Agreed.
-snip- a bunch of stuff I still don't know (I rely on you and this
list for that). :-)
I would include DOM scripting and understanding what the current buzz
words mean (i.e., graceful degradation, unobtrusive code, accessible,
functional, secure, and compliant).
* .... and that's ON TOP of what we all know how to do on Windows.
Don't include that windozes quagmire stuff -- I never did it, I don't
know how, and I reuse to learn. I'll go back to programming rocks
before I succumb to windozes. But, I can still do web stuff.
So let this be at least a basic retort to those who don't consider
web development "real programming." Because you'd be surprised how
much I hear, "oh, you work with web stuff, I thought you meant you
were a real programmer."
I heard that same crap developing software for the Mac, but
programming is programming.
I think if someone really learns html AND css, they will have a good
foundation to move up to other web languages.
