All your items are computer science. IT is about software engineering. That
means _avoiding_ new research in preference for efficiently implementing
business solutions.

Test Driven Development.
Active Record (ORM models)
HTML & webby technologies
platforms & deployment issues
GNU, open source, and version controlling
Behavior Driven Development
