Wpwatercooler - Weekly Wordpress

This week on WPwatercooler we'll be answering a viewers email about where to begin and best practices. Mark Nottingham writes: As someone who is learning WordPress, HTML, CSS and trying to learn some PHP to develop my own websites, I am interested in what you folk at WPWatercooler use in the main to develop your own sites and themes. I am guessing that you need to know HTML and CSS inside out, but what about PHP considering that WordPress is based on it? What about JavaScript, Jquery? Also what is your work process? Do you start with a Photoshop mock up and transfer that to web? Or do you just go straight to a theme? I would love to hear what you think. We'll see how much of this we can get though to get his questioned answered.
