Ergh. Not wanting to appear too eager in 'class', but I can (if prodded
hard enough and supplied with enough motivation) do :




 * SQL (Easily PEAR or the inbuilt functions, perhaps PDO if I bother 
    looking into it)
 * Unit Testing (SimpleTest, although you'd be better off buying the next
    LinuxUser&Developer as I should have an article in there 
    covering this)
 * AJAX (basic-ish) (Field validation in a form using sajax, or
    an auto-complete like thing). 

 * Security (SQL Injection and XSS - what they are, how to defeat it)


However, I'd rather not be the only one talk... hopefully there is
plenty I can learn from everyone else (for all I know, I'm the 'thick'
kid in the class anyway).


David.

(Yeah, it's probably not PC to say "'thick' kid" these days....)
