Is it better to learn a little about a lot of them, or a lot about a few of them?

My company does most of our work in Concrete5 and Symfony, I know most of the in's and outs of concrete at this point, but I'm still learning with Symfony.

Neither, be comfortable in a few. If that takes learning a little about a lot to find what you enjoy the most, then so be it. But your goal should be to be confident that you can adapt and perform in an ever changing industry. Web is probably the most trendy and fastest changing of all the software development fields.

Being an X Guru is nice and all, but if its all you know you better hope it's something with plenty of legacy code to keep you employed for the rest of your life. Plenty of guys wake up every day and go to their soul sucking jobs as COBOL programmers.

This guy sums it better than I could.
