Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!
 
We're talking about HTML, Javascript and CSS, not ILE or RPG4. There's
nothing that you need your company's time or hardware to learn. If you
are not willing to invest in your own professional development on your
own time using your own PC then you're not worthy of being a modern
(employed) developer! 

Sorry, I don't mean to sound harsh, but them's the facts. We're not
talking about being experts in the inner working of Javascript object
prototyping, nor are we talking about understanding the intricacies of
custom class loaders in Java. I'm talking about knowing the basics of
Javascript, CSS and HTML. Roughly what a 13-year-old with a nice MySpace
page would know.
