I recently lost a corporate position and am looking into being a freelancer.
My skills are solid in Word, FrameMaker, PDF, and HTML. I'd want to enhance
my marketability by learning one or more web development languages, but
where to start?
Which language(s)/skill(s) do you suggest I learn first? For example, CGI,
Perl, JavaScript, Java, DHTML, CSS, XML...
