John As with all things it depends on your existing knowledge!
As a minimum you will need to know: Database programming (UniBasic or UniVerse Basic) HTML Active Server Pages VBScript You will also need to be confident designing and building web sites. RedBack is an enabling tool, not a site builder. That means you need all the attendant page design, validation and navigation skills (CSS, JavaScript and so forth). You also need to be able to write fast, efficient database code. If you have all of these areas of knowledge, RedBack will be straight forward. If not, the main thing is to find some training that covers as many of those bases as possible. RedBack is NOT difficult - none of these technologies are and you don't have to be an expert in any of them (except possibly the database) to write a good RedBack application - but it is having the mix of knowledge that is important. I would also find somebody else to look after the web server and internet connection side of things if this is for public access. That gives you someone else to shout at<backspace><backspace>resolve issues with.
