So say you want to put together a basic portfolio website, maybe something more advanced. Or rather you'd like to become proficient in today's internet.
What technologies should I know? Languages?

Depends on what you are in to. What type of work would you be looking to do, ideally? What would your ideal top 5 client list be?

I'm not even necessarily concerned about clients, this is to further myself in relevant techniques and processes. I'm finding flash is becoming more and more irrelevant.
For what purpose do you want to further your techniques?
Web-development, if that wasn't already apparent.
frontpage is all you need to know
php and gd2, xml, flash and as3.
Ok. I get the impression that you already know more than I do about this. So, I don't think I can help.Quote:

I really like Aversion(Mute) redo of his site design- http://mute.rigent.com/index.php
now what sorta front end/back end would you all suggest? I always liked pixelpost but feel like they are really targeted now and my old one still gets hundreds of spam a day. I really need to just delete it.
html, css, jquery/javascript. php mysql for a nice photogallery.
To market yourself as a front end guy. Standards compliant html. knowledge of 502 and how its related to SEO. Some basic SEO understanding. CSS very well. JQuery and Javascript. XML. Enough PHP or Jsp or Asp to get yourself around a back end programmers view or template.
I don't mention flash as I see flash turning more and more into something of its own really.
I hate JQuery. It.... just escapes me.
The link to Aversions site does not load for me in either FF or IE8
The big buzz these days appears to be http://haxe.org/
HaXe has buzz? It's been out there, but I'm not a fan really.
I've got a buzz. Haxe - not so much.
No mention of Pascal or Fortran? And you guys call yourselves programmers....
Django for sure. It's Python, and it's nothing short of amazing. Seriously, give it a chance, you'll never want to touch PHP again.
Screw this, I'm becoming an English Major. Easier road to unemployment.
and only 1 language to learn.
heh, my sis was an English major... and now a fed agent. go figure.
