PHP

CSS
Now that everyone I know is moving on to XSL, I figure I might as well learn CSS. I'm really glad I did, the web is interestingly scalable again.. I was truly afraid of it ending up as a million Word documents. Separate information from style, diligently. As an aside, I find it strangely comforting to find Internet Explorer still brain damaged.
