Hi, I'll clarify. The original poster said:

Mainly it is about data processing, conversion, done with some intelligent logic and algorithms

This doesn't tell the average person anything. So when you say:

Not everyone here is going to use the complex language that you seem to expect.

It seems you are making the same point as I. I don't know what the original poster was talking about so I can't clarify that, but an example would be "I write programs that generate web pages based on templates" instead of "create dynamic, integrated server-side solutions utilizing algorithms to power our database-driven internet http presence." Bad examples, but I think they show my point.

You haven't provided any useful advice for artist.

Actually, I think I provided far better advice than any other posts in this thread (ie Don't believe the BS). Also, His question was one he should answer on his own, nobody can tell him what to learn better than himself.

So to restate my advice: always strive to truly understand what you're doing. If you can't explain it to your grandma and a 4th grader, you don't know what you're talking about. Avoid useless buzzwords, they only make you seem less intelligent than you are. Don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't learn.

That's it, I'm out. Feel free to flame amoungst yourselves.
