sorry mrdob, had a lunch break.
My point is really just trying to stress that although it is good to try and learn the tools of your trade, it is not possible to learn them all.
As the old saying goes, "he was jack of all trades and master of none"
So, if your skill is design, don't get bogged down in actionscript or php or server side shite. Leave that to the professionals in their respective trade(s).I used to try and learn everything new when computers took over in typesetting, I would religiously learn all about the next updates in Quark 1.0 and illustrator and ATM etc... but soon I figured that I cannot keep up and when I moved to web design, I knew I had too much to learn in all the technologies that are out there.
I'm not a one man band, I use professionals in all trades.
If you're making a professional website you don't write the copy yourself and take the pictures yourself and code yourself and design yourself.choose your path.
