Rajesh's Advice on Sunday, June 20, 2010 :

Summarizing what all you need to know in the following points..

1. HTTP/TCP protocol from a very high overview perspective
2. JavaScript/CSS/XHTML
3. ASP.NET ofcourse (since you will be opting for MS technologies)
4. Authentication/ Authorization techniquest
   
5. WCF/Web Services
6. AJAX
7. jQuery (and similar javascript libraries like Prototype, ExtJS etc.)
8. Unit Testing / Integration Testing (NUnit, MBUnit, Selenium, WatiN etc or VS Test)
   
9. Silverlight awareness
   
10. Common design patterns
11. Strong Object Oriented skills

This is just a summary.  Google it you will get details of each area.
