Random & Casual Poll: What abt. Web Services Should You Know?

[Thomas Edelblute]

My skills are more in the System Administrator camp.  I don’t do coding for work, but have some HTML 4 for personal projects.  My skills are more in the lines of Windows Server 2008 with Active Directory Users and computers, and the Solaris 10 operating systems with VMWare’s ESXi for virtualization.

Hi everyone,

Every so often in the library blogosophere I see posts dedicated to whether librarians should know how to code. The answer I usually give is awful - something like, “Um. Probably.” Anyway, since you all work with the web and/or library systems, I’m curious about your wizened answers. Here’s the scenario: if a LIS student intending to work in web services (or w/e) asked your advice, what code / platforms / other skills would you recommend for success?

I’ll compile and share the results in a couple of weeks.

All the best,

Hi! Hit me up any time, but I’d really appreciate it if you report broken links, bugs, your meeting minutes, or request an awesome web app over on the Library Web Services<http://staff.library.nova.edu/pm> site.
