Above all skills and knowledge, I still think passion and humble attitude beats all. Skill and experience could be gained, but if you don't have the later (I also dunno what could be done about you). Of course, you must have the minimum programming foundation.

Anyway, some recommended readings
- C/C++ by Deitel or Bjourne Stroustrup (for a solid foundation in programming)
- Haven't really found a good .NET or Java book, but the Internet is always a good resource (to get a job)
- PHP - don't need a book as he help file is already very helpful (for hobby and pet project)
- Design Patterns (to make you a better programmer)
- Google (programmer's best friend).

BTW, my company is looking for .NET/Java Developer (good talent are such a hard find nowadays). As long are you feel interested and wanted to take up the challenge, visit:http://siva-my.jobstreet.com/_ads/my/jobs/2006/11/default/10/352285.htm

When I was assigned a task to use the Yahoo! User Interface libraries, YUI library, my perspective and knowledge of Javascript shifted for the better. For the first time in my life I know Javascript. For the first time in my life, I can program well in Javascript. Read these well written articles about Javascript and his YUI's blog comments and you get what I mean. Personally, this is my "Thinking Javascript".

Doesn't it also relate to AJAX more or less? Instead of just Javascript.

For the YUI part, yes. It is more to AJAX. If my earlier statements lead you in the wrong direction, my bad. My original intention was for web developer out there to be aware that there has been so many improvement into the way we should write our JavaScript. It is important to be aware of the latest trends - unobtrusive scripts. It is important to know what methods are deprecated and what replaced them currently. The website I gave explains basic fundamentals about how the right way we should think JavaScript. If we do not have this idea in the first place, it is going to be hard. YUI is an advanced library that uses these fundamentals and it is a huge bonus if anyone can grasp it earlier. Not only YUI but other libraries too such as Prototype, Dojo, JQuery etc. No more we should look JavaScript as a script for kids. Take a look at http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2007/07/11/...-is-too-simple/ to see the evolution.

C is good for foundation of other language.

Try out Java programming language. I am sure you will like it.

The must-read for Java programmers is "Joshua Bloch's Effective Java".

If you are an integrator, do not miss out the Enterprise Integration Patterns.

Oreily Head First Design Patterns, is a fun book to read.
finished reading it in 1and a 1/2 month, now is time to apply it.
Reccomend to read it anyway, gives u better vision on what OO can do rather than remember all the huge term like polymorphism, inheritance, composition, bla bla bla...
