I was wondering about when it is appropriate to hire subcontractors. 
For example, a client wants a site put up requiring e-commerce 
features. These features require extensive programming skills that 
you do not have. Or perhaps they want extensive Shockwave animation, 
and your Flash/Director skills are rusty.

Do you teach yourself the needed skills, or hire a subcontractor with 
the skills you need? If you hire, how do you determine if the 
subcontractor really has the skills? If you self-educate, do you try 
to recoup the time, effort and perhaps cash expense of doing that 
from the client? If so, how?

Thanks in advance for helpful replies.
