Question thread #3
It's time for another question thread!
The rules:
- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer.

If one were interested in getting involved in bugfixes and development, but one's only code experience is outdated (HTML 3.0 and Java a few versions ago), which languages would you lovely people suggest one brushes up on?
no subject
- HTML4, CSS3, and the Template Toolkit templating language
- Javascript, the jQuery library, and the jQueryUI library
For backend development:
- SQL
For both:
- Perl
Also, feel free to pop up in #dreamwidth-dev if you need to discuss specifics, depending on which bug(s) you're looking at.

In case you have not had ALL the links thrown at you yet:
* Dreamhacks, our hosted developer environments, because you don't want to try to install the code yourself
* The Wiki, especially Development and Getting Started
* The #dreamwidth and #dreamwidth-dev irc channels, on irc.freenode.net
* The Mercurial web frontend if you want to just read through the code instead of checking it out
* BUGZILLAAAAAAA, especially the unassigned effort-minor bugs
