JavaScript Galore!
I said before that DBAs should know more that just SQL. I believe I blogged on that here. Along those lines, I just finished a review of a very nice javascript video training course. It's done by How To Gurus and the guy who does the instruction is actually quite good. I don't get paid for doing these reviews, and I don't get any kickbacks from the vendors. So every review I do is on the up and up. If you don't

Anyway, I highly recommend that you guys get up to speed on javascript because not only is it pretty much everywhere on the web, but MS is also investing highly in it as ASP.Net generates javascript functions behind the scenes. Javascript is is actually more functional than vbscript especially on the web.
So consider this the first of many recommendations on training. Books are ok, and you can get the job done, but there's nothing like having it explained where you can hear the inflections, and impromptu explanations of topics as they come up. I've really grown quite fond of video training, and this one is excellent.
