The most important thing missing from the education of most web programmers is database experience. Companies will tend to help new guys more with the web frontend stuff, as that is more visible, so the marketing guys see it. :) I've seen many, many web programmers with several years experience who didn't really understand SQL queries. It should probably be a separate course, though, so I wouldn't expect someone who'd only taken 1 course to have that experience.
