Hi

I'm just wondering what kind of skills/knowledge and level of competency are required to land a Junior Web Dev role in the UK. I'm guessing the following are basics and needed but please correct me and add any others I might of missed.

HTML
CSS
PSD to HTML
jQuery
Git
SASS or whatever
A little Ruby, Python, Javascript or PHP
A portfolio (not a skill, obviously)

I'd also love to hear your stories on how you gained your first role in Web Development for science purposes.

Thanks,
Marcus
 
If your list is in order, I would move php further up.
Knowledge of a cms would also be good (WordPress, joomla, etc) and possibly some database experience, depending on the specifics of the role.

Oh yeah not sure how I forgot Wordpress, learning PHP & MySQL might be useful as PHP will be useful for Wordpress and the MySQL for the database side of things.

The list wasn't in any particular order, I just happened to have typed it like that. With all the skills and knowledge above what would be the expected range of salary I could expect?
