Hello!
I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to increase my skills as a web programmer and become more marketable. I know HTML backward and forwards, know quite a bit of PHP (especially in conjuction with MySQL) and CSS. I recently bought one of Eric Myer's books on CSS. It gave me ideas for layouts and such but didn't really expand my knowledge much. I also have a Sams 21 days book on .Net for a VB programmer (which I used to be till I didn't have access to Visual Studio). I thought about learning .Net but .Net requires the Visual Studio IDE and a server with .Net support, neither of which I have. What next? Should I go with AJAX maybe ? Also, I am a programmer, not a designer and would like to improve the artisitc side so my sites don't look as bad as they do now. Is there a list of topics every web developer should know before moving to other topics? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
