Adding on to this, it is also good to learn more than just your standard programming languages. Having a good, working Unix knowledge goes a long way in making your life easier. Tools/languages that I would recommend getting intimate with are awk, sed, grep, ack, make, and general shell scripting. These tools have helped make my life as a programmer so much better, and saved me countless hours of repetitive tasks. Also, keep in mind that you don't have to learn everything mentioned in this thread all at once. You can spend years learning them. :)
