Resolve
To be awesome at (almost) all aspects in the limited stage of the web.
To be awesome at (almost) all aspects in the limited stage of the web.
*The following is a list on all the web-related items that I already know, would like to learn, and have no interest in learning (despite being related to the web). Some points may not seem to make sense, that is because my knowledge in the area is so terrible that I don’t know what I’m writing >_<

A good cross-over into the emerging mobile platforms are frameworks like sencha touch and ext-js. Leverages xhtml,css, js & html5 to provide mobile experiences. Not immediately but in a couple of years, this stack is going to be dominant. The plus is that this stack doesn’t go outside your current resolves but does give you a step into mobile (is the iPad really mobile? :)) – and it is going to be important.
For ActionScript, its 95% javascript with some Flash specific packages tacked on. Actionscript 3 and above is coupled with MXML and if you learn that stack, then you have in effect also learned Silverlight & WPF which uses C# (or vb.net etc) and XAML.
Good to know: Actionscript, JS and C# all come from ECMAScript – so they all look very alike.

What he said :)
Perl, Python and Java are also “web languages” among other things via Mason (Perl), Django/Zope/etc. (Python) and JSP/etc. (Java)
