I'll make the bold gesture of demanding that you read every one of my columns that mentions CGI and every one of my columns that mentions DBI.

Not only will you likely learn quite a bit, but if you can understand how I use CGI and DBI when I do, then you're likely a long way towards being an employable programmer in those areas. I'd certainly hire anyone who understood every one of my columns, and probably pass over anyone who couldn't explain my own code to me.
