Hi Laura, I live in San Francisco and I'm a Senior Producer at an internet travel company. Have you looked at producer job descriptions to see what skill sets people are looking for? I always find this helpful so I can see what skills seem to be the most important. Then I usually take classes in those areas wherever they are available so I can expand my skills. This school does offer some on-line courses in areas like HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc. I've been taking classes at SFSU for a while and it's very good. www.msp.sfsu.edu A lot of companies want producers to have project management and product management skills as well as a solid understanding of basic web technology. In fact, some web producer jobs actually ask that you know how to write functional specs for new features and functionality on a web site. I still don't know the best way to acquire this skill other than learning it on the job. Of couse, companies who require this skill for a producer job usually aren't willing to have you 'learn it on the job'. If anyone out there has any suggestions on how to learn to write functional specs, I'd like to know too! I hope this helps a bit. : ) P --- Laura Marino <nogui41@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi David: > > Thanks for your reply.
