Ask HN: If you only had 40 hours to learn a new IT based skill what would it be?

There are many many IT skills you could learn in 40 hours. Assuming you are not a complete n00b, how about learning Ruby and Sinatra (a "framework" for rapidly creating web applications). You could easily make it through the book, "Jump Start Sinatra," in less than 40 hours, for example.

Is this the type of response you're looking for? If not, please clarify. Good luck!

My wife and kids are away for a week in the near future, so I thought I would take 40 hours and learn something new. I have no idea yet as to what that will be, so I thought I would ask more intelligent people what they would do :)

Thank you for the suggestion though!
