I find it annoying that I keep forgetting to grab the links I've found for certain websites that are worth pointing out that I have spent my precious little time researching.
Anyways I've decide to take a big step back and re-evaluate what are the key things that I like, use and need to focus on.
1. Java has always been on my mind even though I've barely touched in the longest while. It's been knocked for being slow and clunky but it does have its place in server-side computing. http://java.net appears to be a good resource on keeping tabs on Java as well the omega site http://java.sun.com
2. Perl. Ever since I went to yapc::europe in 2006, I've known about the good effort they have been putting into CPAN and Perl 6.
3. Rapid Javascript Development. Client side stuff. A lot has changed since I originally did web development. There's so much you can do. The basic knowledge is still there but there should be lots of tools to develop a quick application with fancy moving graphics and fancy moving windows. Firebug and Mozilla seem to a common thing that's cropped up in searches.
4. Linux. A lot of above languages go hand in hand with Linux. In particular, Perl's catalyst package has little support for Windows. This has to be a basic building block for me.
