Which random extra skills should I try and pick up?

[doodab]

Right then, I've recently been doing a bit of client side web stuff with HTML & CSS (which it has to be said is much simpler than the old fashioned HTML I learnt years ago) and I think it would be useful to have a bit more knowledge of that and this new fangled Ajax stuff.

So, which of the many frameworks should I look at? JQuery seems like an obvious choice, are there any others worth devoting effort to?

I do have an end project in mind so I have something to use it on.

Already have that. Well, pussy baiting, but it's the same sort of thing.

Ask sasguru if you need advice.

what you need is to get on the [TOOT] [TOOT] .Net gravy train

plenty of room all aboard

and then go for the high rates like Dim Prawn

in terms of where to focus,

those in the know reckon it's best to aim for and get the full MSDN Certification

I'm just doing some MS certs because my contract is up at some stage and need to update my CV a bit. Not working too hard as it's stuff I sort of know already (C#, SQL Server, SSIS etc), just studying on the train each day instead of buying a paper. I got an MCAD back in 2003 and it's now all MCITP type stuff. No practical use at all but gets your CV in front of clients and sort of refreshes your memory of stuff you thought you'd forgot. First one up in a few weeks is SQL Server 2008 Development.

Erm, go to insert and there is a little section for charts, choose the one you want, select some data, format it. There is no wizard as such but it all appears on the ribbon.
