I've never armor tanked a ship before, so I figured it would be a good idea to see what skills I need. Obviously Repair Systems, and my Cap Skills are already very good due to shield tanking previously. Other than that though I'm clueless. Anyone want to toss some pointers out please? :)

Hull upgrades to install armor hardeners and damage controls, repair systems ops -- if you already have the cap skills, those two should be about all you need.

Go for Energy Grid Upgrades III for cap recharger IIs if you're gonna do it for PVE.

yeppers
Hull Upgrades V for T2 hardeners
Mechanic V for T2 Reppers (Large anyway)
the armor compensations skills
EM Armor Compensation ; Thermal Armor Compensation ; Kinetic Armor Compensation ; Explosive Armor Compensation all to at least lvl 3 or 4, they are located under the "mechanic" branch of skills

the armor compensation skills are most effective when you have to fit passive hardeners really, they give like an additional 3% bonus per lvl i THINK, 2 or 3%, but thats still alot, at lvl 4 (if a 3% bonus) thats 12% extra resistance amount, which can make a difference
i reccomend you train EM last though, since armor has a good resist to EM anyway, so, Explosive first, thermal kinetic THEN EM
thats how i did it anyway

Oh, neat. I didn't realize armor had the passive set of skills too. Thank you! :D

well, they DO affect active hardeners, but its kinda complicated
the skill description is very confusing it took me three days to try to figure it out so i just said to hell with it ill train it to lvl 1 and see how it affects my resistances
they do affect active hardeners, they give like a 2 or 3% INCREASE to active hardeners . . . . but only when they are not activated, lol
(IE: Active hardeners give like a 1% increase in their respective resistance field while NOT active, but once you activate them that 1% is increased to 55%, and once they are deactivated they go back down to 1% icnrease, these armor compensation skills give approx a 2% bonus to active hardeners while not activated, but give NO bonuses when the active hardener is activated
which is why i said they are most effective when you have passive hardeners equipped, they give a 3% bonus to passive hardeners resistance amount per lvl
TL;DR: it was a waste of programmer labor to give those skills "bonuses" to active hardeners
EDIT: and sorry if this post confuses you, lol

It doesn't confuse me. They function the same as the shield versions; heh.
