I am currently working in a non-technical capacity, and am planning to wrap it up in around a couple of years. I want to stay busy and was thinking of web development for local businesses. I have a good technical background and in the past worked with C, Java, Oracle (DB, tools, PL/SQL) so I can learn new stuff, but my knowledge of current technologies is close to zero.
I would like to start getting up to speed on appropriate tools and technologies so in a couple of years, I will be ready to roll up my sleeves. One suggestion that I think is good is Adobe CS. I'm already familiar with Photoshop and Lightroom.
Interested in recommendations for web development tools. Specifically CS or something else? What about PHP, PERL, Python, or Ruby? If a small business wants a storefront tied to their inventory system, are there standard tools and interfaces?
Related topic: I am also interested in video, and the CS version that has everything I'm interested in is Master Collection. New for the Mac is around $2500 at Amazon. I can find it for around $1500 on ebay - seller says factory new in box, shrink wrapped, US version, not upgrade, OEM, or education version. Gave correct part number. If legit, I can see how someone can cut their profit, but how would they get a legit package to sell? If it is gray market, can it be US version?
Thanks very much.
