Hello all
I'm going to school online, not for web design, but while in school I decided that web design would be really useful for my career further down the road. I ran a short craigslist search to get an idea what companies are looking for in a web developer, and have created a list from that search. I'd like to ask the more experienced gurus who actually do this day in, day out... Which of these is recommended, and which could I stand to not learn? The ones listed appear once, then one additional time per number listed to the right. I figure the top two are definitely required lol.. But I posted the whole list here anyway. (x)HTML(5) 6 CSS(3) 5 PHP 4/(5) 4 JavaScript 3 (My)SQL 3 AJAX 3 jQuery 2 SEO 1 MVC (model view client) 1 API 1 Adobe DreamWeaver 1 XML 1 Object oriented programming 1 CMS syst (concrete5) 1 .NET 1 Linux 1 ASP web app server Cake PHP, Zend Framewks troubleshooting skills Content Mgmt Systems Magento SEM UI components LAMP stack Conversions Rails PL/SQL Endeca PageBuilder Omniture FB Connect MSSQL Semantic Coding Best practices Oracle Sybase SVN/GIT versioning WHM/cPanel (CentOS) Java App Development APEX App Development Web security pract + proced Data modeling/architecture JOIN statements foreign key restraints Actionscript OmniGraffle Adobe photoshop and illust Thanks in advance to anyone bored enough to shove me in the proper direction |

All.
I don't know. I'm not a professional. But as money goes, I think back end pays better than front end. The best you can do is probably to start learning and see where it takes you. It always helps if you like what you are doing and it comes natural for you. Me, I can see what looks good, but I can't come up with it myself, so I'm not a good designer. But if someone gives me a sketch of what they want I enjoy making it happen, or at least try to. The right brain and mind for the job is important whatever you do, I think. Maybe you find you love programming and pick it up easily or you like the front end stuff better or it turns out you are really good with graphics and design. Or you just hate all of it. Start with HTML anyway. You don't get anywhere without it. |
