python

[Todd Millecam]

Naw, but I took a telecommute job and am looking to move down there in
November now.

For all the pen testing and hacker stuff I went through (7 some odd years
ago), here's what you'll want to know how to do, in approximate order of
priority:

xml and json parsing (from xml.dom import minidom ; import json)
connecting to and using a database (learn enough SQL to be able to navigate
around one here too), learning sqlalchemy will be enough to land you a job
in the field
OS shell integration (import os)
string operations
regular expressions (import re)
handling and forming automated web requests
