Really depends on what your objective is.
If you want to change careers and become a front-end developer, then HTML5 and CSS3 are essential, as is being able to script your own JS.
If, though, you want to remain a designer that has front-end skills, then HTML5/CSS3 for sure, but basic knowledge of how to use existing JS scripts and libraries — without having to script your own — should suffice.
My experience in agencies has been that designers with front-end skills rarely had to do much beyond basic mark-up, as the work gets passed on to dedicated development teams.
- If you really want to become a full-on developer, eventually you will also need to learn PHP and how to work databases.Continuity
