Answer 2

You should have the necessary basis which are usually developed through university study. I beleive these would be:

1- Programming concepts, especially those of OOP.

2- Database concepts.

3- Network concepts and environment.

Then, you can get your self training in one or more of today's technologies, such as Oracle and .Net.
