With the recent string of projects that I am undergoing, I would encourage
you to attack and understand XML, as it is a major building block for the
next wave of applications that I am building. Now I am not the Big net guy
that can see where things are going, but I am building some pretty awesome
applications using Flash as my client side application front face, and
Coldfusion as my main server side developement, then my lil ol friend XMl
comes in to play with allowing the two to communicate and give the user an
application like they were working with a program that is on there own
computer, and not even realizing that they are using my servers to do all
the data trafficing:)
When I get one of these apps done, I will be sure to post it up so you can
see what just a few little ideas, become one giant monster that can make
anyone stand in aww:) well my dream. lol
Not to go to far off topic, but I just got a nice little hycoo on what XML
could be as Yoda would say, the force is all around us, it binds us... I
need to watch that movie again:) lol So can teh thought of XML be, because
no matter the face of your application, XML will give all your applications
the ability to talk to eachother and bind them together:) kinda neat, eh?

Thanks everyone for your insight.
my real interest lies in XML/XSL. I think parsing out
data and sending it to wherever it needs to go in
whatever format you want is damn sexy. Unfortunately,
I cannot find anyone who is actually doing this.
I was looking at PHP as I saw it as less of a blow to
the head than JSP, seeing as I do not have a true CS
background. However, it cannot hurt to invest in a
book and start checking it out.
So, I think I will be looking into JSP, as CF is
migrating that direction anyways and it does seem to
be the most demanded/highest paying language nowadays.
I also don't see it going anywhere as it has been
adapted by many large companies and is cross-platform.
As for ASP/VB, I just don't trust m$oft's new .NET
initative. I read today that Office XP is already past
BETA and into the Gold Release. Many people think
m$oft is rushing it out just to try and get a jump on
the move to web-based software to beat out Sun and
Oracle. That is a situation I would rather not get
involved in. I would rather tie myself to Macromedia
than m$soft.
Thanks again everyone for your insight.
* Steve N. I actually did use to work quite a lot with
graphics and Flash and found it quite fun, but my jobs
have migrated me more towards coding. I do try to play
with Flash on the side still, but the usability, speed
issues as well as the proprietary nature of it still
make me think twice about investing too much time
learning it.
