Same thing with DBA's. For example, when I came here I didn't know a thing about Hibernate, our persistance layer. I took a couple of days, installed it, played with the demos and read a couple of books and numbers of web sites over a couple of weeks (ok... I skimmed!). Am I a Hibernate expert? Nope. Do I understand something about Hibernate and how it works as a persistence layer? You bet. Do I understand the developers when they talk to me about Hibernate? Yes.
I attended a 2 hour Hotsos session on Web Development for the same reasons. I won't be writing code to fit the Model-View-Control model, but now at least I can converse with people that do write the code. No need to be an expert as Robert said, you just need to have understanding of the basics. -- Jared Still Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist
