It is getting to be too time-consuming and scattered. I need to focus more on doing billable work. In particular, I am not going to spend any more time on security. I was getting too in-depth on SQL injection methods and venturing into <strong>Python<\/strong> and <strong>PHP<\/strong> because hackers tend to use those languages.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to cut down on CSS studying. I&#8217;ve learned a great deal more about CSS but it can get very involved when you factor in all the browser implementations. I&#8217;ll probably still pick up a few tips and tricks occasionally. I shall also spend less time exploring web design but I&#8217;ll keep my eyes open for any graphics element that looks cool.<\/p>\n<p>As far as research goes, I will not jump on <strong>ASP.NET 3.5<\/strong>, <strong>Visual Studio 2008<\/strong>, or <strong>Silverlight<\/strong>. I&#8217;m still mastering ASP.NET 2.0 so I don&#8217;t want to confuse myself with another version. I think Microsoft is going a little crazy with their pace of development because they are planning a model view controller (MVC) framework for ASP.NET and so many other new features that nobody will be able to keep up with it. They just keep piling on the complexity.<\/p>\n<p>However, I will continue to concentrate on the following technology; <strong>After Effects<\/strong> because I&#8217;ve already invested a lot of time in mastering it, <strong>ASP.NET 2.0<\/strong> because I have many books to read, <strong>AJAX<\/strong> again because I have several books on AJAX.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve decided to cut down on the amount of new technology research and studying I&#8217;m doing.
