But more important than all of that is getting good at finding the right answers to problems on google and improving problem solving abilities. Think first, write code later!

After working in the industry for a year i thought id update the list
.Net is good to have as well as a CMS certification under your belt.
My company uses sitecore, umbraco, kentico and wordpress mainly. Having one of those makes you a lot more employable.
Working with databases is also important, if you have experience with databases, coding languages and CMS, you can start thinking about projects as a whole.
