When perusing a jobs site I came across listing after listing that specified an unholy list of skills expected in a "web designer", the most flagrant expectations were from one company that listed its expectations as follows: "...experience with the following: ? Windows / UNIX as operating systems ? C / C++ / VB / PL/SQL etc. as programming languages ? Knowledge of CGI scripting languages ( Perl ) ? Some relational database experience ( Oracle, Sybase ) ? Internet / Web design / HTML / DHTML / XML/ Java / Javascript / TCL / CGI / OO Design ? Internet Explorer ? Experience with e-procurement (Buy side and Sell side) ? Netscape, BillerXpert, BuyerXpert, NAS (Netscape Application Server), LDAP, SellerXpert, Buyerxpert, ECxpert or Commercexpert, Tradexpert, NetVendor and sell side implementations ? Seagate Reporting Tool ? Windows NT, 95, 98, - Macintosh 8.6, 9, X, SUN Solaris, AIX ? Adode Photoshop 5.5 ? Adobe Illustrator 8 ? Macromedia Dreamweaver 3 ? Macromedia Fireworks 3 ? Marcomedia Flash 4 ? Marcomedia Freehand 8 (soon 9) ? Alliar HomeSite 4.5 ? Ariba, Commerce One, Clarus, Intellisys, FutureTense, Netscape Commerce Server, MS Siteserver (Commerce Edition), net.commerce, Vignette, Open Market, Broadvision, SQL Server, Persimmon, ICAT, ? Middleware products - IBM MQ Series, Tuxedo." As a relative newbie, how can I hope to learn, much less master all of that without giving up the rest of all my waking hours devoted to learning such an immense body of material?? I had thought getting a mastery of HTML first followed by some scripting languages like Javascript & VBScript & Perl, combined with some strong emphasis on DHTML --especially cross-browser compatibility was a tough enough row to hoe. Does anyone know of some crash courses to get a leg up on what is expected nowadays? much thanks in advance... Lady Wistfulee
