Just start when you feel ready. As for web-app languages, either pick Ruby and use Rails or Python and used Django. There are pros and cons to each, I just happen to use Django because I like Python better. You could also use the Google App Engine with Java or Python and you could eliminate you need for a Sysadmin.

Hi. Thanks for your input. I've heard great things about Ruby. It's next on my list, for sure. I'm working my way through SEIA right now and learning Perl (re-learning? It's so similar to C!) I'll look into Python as well. I've heard of more web apps being built on Ruby/rails, but you guys know better than I do. Thanks again.
