Please expand. How would you recommend I go about to learn this (not in a
formal setting)? I can not afford to take classes and because of a head
injury doubt I could complete it successfully anyways.
In your list I notice you do not mention learning any programming language.
Why is that?
What do you mean by "OS shell integration"? Is that saying I need to learn
BASH as opposed to Python?
"string operations must mean BASH....
when you say "regular expressions" is this a good resource here
<
http://www.aboutlinux.info/2006/01/learn-how-to-use-regular-expressions.html>?
Would I use this with BASH or Python or both?
I notice that in
http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ there is a section that
covers using Python with websites so handling and forming automated web
requests is probably covered in more advanced Python tutorials.
So to sum it up I think I need to learn Python and BASH. Is this correct? I
also need to learn XML, JSON (what do you mean when you say "from xml.dom
import minidom ; import json") and SQL

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
