Vital Stats
Software Experience
Software is a means to an end. It's not substitute for intuitive, creative thinking. For instance, I began learning HTML when I was 14. Shortly later I found Dreamweaver. Instead of abusing Dreamweaver, using it as a pure WYSIWYG editor, I chose to use it as a glorified text editor. I still use it for that purpose to this day, until I find something better.Here is a small list of the software I'm currently using, and how long I've used it:
Photoshop: 9 years
Illustrator: 9 years
InDesign: 3 years
Premiere Pro: 2 Years
Audition: 1 Year
Flash: 5 years
MS Office 95, 2000, XP, 2003, 2007 (If you count MS Works, I think that's about 14 years)
Unix shell: 6 years (Basic commands)
Vi (Unix text editor)
Programming Languages
Useful languages come and go, then come back again. Over specialiazd languages die out (see Pascal, Fortran). The key to longevity is flexibility and extensibility. That's just a nerdy way of saying programming languages need to grow and change over time to survive.Perl (limited)
PHP
HTML
XHTML
CSS
Actionscript 1.0, 2.0
Java
Javascript
MySQL
