For web desigining you should have to follow a stream

1. PHP, MySql
2. ASP, MsSql

Pick one stream and continue till you retire from ur job.:D Beacause learning is................

JAVA and Unix ...(shell and perl)
ur CV will become rocking then..and also I think buy some good books..ebooks are just for quick reference..I feel very uncomfortable reading some book on PC ....

first buy "Unix by Sumitabha Das"..Install Ubuntu Linux Hardy Heron 8.0.4 on ur PC and start practising :) then move to Java....

You're going to become an engineer, not any run of the mill programmer lurking at every nook and cranny. Knowing a language is different from mastering the same. I recommend you start mastering C, Lisp (or Scheme or Haskell - for functional programming and Lambda calculus), and one of the extremely popular and marketable object-oriented platforms (not languages) - Java or dotNET.

How comfortable are you with algorithms and data structures? A degree in computer engineering is a waste unless you can develop your own solutions for countless computational problems with ease and elegance. Know TAOCP by heart, and you shall have confidence in your trade.

^^ TAOCP is amazing! I started reading it in the beginning of this semester, and still I'm in the first 300 pages of volume 1 only. Of course, it was not exactly in the top of my priority list, but its very comprehensive, I recommend it for all computer programmer wannabes.

PS: I'm a 3rd year computer student too
