[dba-Tech] Next Learn

Hi Arthur,

Next on my list are:
1) VS 2008 (released last Monday)
2) WPF - Windows presentation foundation
3) LINQ - can't remember what that stands for and too lazy to look it up.
This would include LINQ to SQL, LINQ to XML, and LINQ to objects.
4) WCF - Windows communication foundation

I want to take a poll from this group. The question is, What do you think
you need to learn next? I offer a few possible answers but they are not
exhaustive.

a) the next version of SQL (2008 Katmai)
b) the next version of Visual Studio .NET
c) Ruby and Ruby on Rails
d) Java's latest
e) PHP
f) Eiffel
g) some alternative to MS-SQL (MySQL, Oracle, DB2, PostGres, Advantage,
Cache, etc.)
h) XML (which obviously applies to several of the aforementioned but is
narrower in scope)
i) something I didn't list above -- if so, please say What.

TIA,
Arthur
