@poster over my dead body not me and cgi

the features and how to represent it using the User Interface. I noticed that focusing on user interface and features enables you to end up with a nice looking website. Don't think of the UI in terms of javascript, html, css, just design the graphics and how each UI component will respond then map the flow to the features of the web.

@ Ymodulus earn what's in demand right now html5 is a necessary, then Enterprise tools like C# or advanced mobile tools Qt / Android, that's my advice, use the market environment to know what to jump in and also future trends html5 no doubt is the ish, simple and low cost.

I use C# mainly, but often find myself doing some C++.
These both are good to learn for low level coding on the Windows platform (C++ is cross platform, a bonus).

As for the future, yes mobile seems like the new fruitful garden; so I'll suggest HTML5 (pretty straightforward), JavaScript (in its raw form and in API's and server/clientside frameworks like Node.js, Ringo, JQuery etc). There is a shortage of mobile dev's.
HTML5 is cross-platform, as is JavaScript. Way to go.
