Which random extra skills should I try and pick up?

[wim121]

So, which of the many frameworks should I look at? JQuery seems like an obvious choice, are there any others worth devoting effort to?

I do have an end project in mind so I have something to use it on.

There are plenty to consider. Ajax for one, which I prefer to jquery .....

I would recommend visiting a site called webdeveloper.com ... State the rough project in mind .... some seasoned web developers there .....

Right then, I've recently been doing a bit of client side web stuff with HTML & CSS (which it has to be said is much simpler than the old fashioned HTML I learnt years ago) and I think it would be useful to have a bit more knowledge of that and this new fangled Ajax stuff.

Brush up on your "object-oriented" Javascript if you are going to be using js frameworks.

Not to be pedantic but Ajax is a group of methods wheras jQuery is a javascript library so they cant be compared, an implementation of Ajax may or may not include jQuery.

to answer the OP, learn 'The Cloud', thats where its all at.

It won't be public facing web stuff, more in house stuff with a web front end.

Hmm. I've had a tinker with EC2 (was thinking of using it to host instances of my pet project / plan B) and I use google docs and stuff quite a bit. Anything else I should be worrying about?

They may be referring the to MS ASP.NET Ajax Library. That is one I know pretty well however my preference lies with jQuery. Additionally, it looks like jQuery is more beneficial to your CV.

There is a relatively new JS library called "Knockout JS", not sure what the up take will be on that one but I'm tempted to use it on the next project if it's relevant.
