I was a tech writer for Sun Microsystems for 10 years, and built small Java apps for demonstration.
I've worked with web sites a lot over the years, and for the last year have been learning Ruby and RoR. I hope to get proficient in both. Ruby is a fun language to learn, and RoR is very different than any other web framework that I've come across.
I'm also learning Javascript, and a few of the libraries out there.
