What technologies, other than ColdFusion, should a developer know?
Fusion Authority recently ran an article called What's Hot? What's Not? Where Do We Go From Here? subtitled "What technologies, other than ColdFusion, should a developer know?". Mike Henke followed up the theme with a post called "What's Hot & Where do we go from here?".
I'm pretty sure I don't have the insight that other people have who have already written on the subject. But it seemed like a fun exercise, so I thought I would toss in my two cents with:
What technologies, other than ColdFusion, am I learning?
I'm not sure what technologies you should learn, but here are the ones that I am learning:
That is probably a good point, but I am not the one to make it. I can barely understand the simplest of Java and even less of .NET stuff. Someday...
I am far from an expert on source control and I know almost nothing about VSS. That being said, nearly every time that I use SVN I feel like it is fighting against me somehow. It is hard to explain, but that is my experience.
When I use Git, on the other hand, I feel like it is a little impatient with me because I am using it wrong. Although that still has its unpleasantness, I feel like I can learn to use it better and in the meantime it is working much better for me that SVN ever did.
I am putting all of my new projects on Git and I plan to start migrating SVN ones to Git soon.
