Yes I'm MCAD/MCSD certified but unfortunately I studied web development only in two exams . So , I only know abstract but I've not done any practice ...I'm asking this because I find it difficult for me to create a nice website without the knowledge in photoshop or any graphics creation app . So I was wondering do all web developers have to learn this also !!!

Not all web developers learn graphics. On most teams there is usually at least one graphics persion. On very small projects with complex graphics there is often an outside graphics person contracted for that part of the work.
A web developer typically does the logic of the site, and not the graphics.

A website isnt all about graphics ... in any event you can use something as simple as Paint Shop Pro .. or outsource if you need any extensive graphics.

Re: What do you really need to be Web Developer ?
If you want to be a web developer, you just need to pick some technologies and become familiar with them.
HTML/CSS/JavaScript are givens.
PHP vs ASP.
MySQL vs PostgreSQL vs ... infinity
Become knowledgable about Internet Explorer vs Firefox (vs Opera vs Safari) as well as rendering difference between them.
It would also help (but is not required) to be knowledgable about the system you're using, ie Linux + Apache, or Windows + ISS. Become familiar with various configurations, etc on the webserver and OS of your (or your companies choice).
And learn by experience.

Re: What do you really need to be Web Developer ?
Just to reiterate and give terminology to something that's been previously posted about roughly 4 times. Web development and web design are two different fields. As many people have posted, web developers aren't necessarily concerned with the graphics portion.
I'm currently working as a web developer (if you had to categorize it). I end up positioning images and handling various formatting things (mainly because web sites are becoming more and more client-preference based. CSS has become an increasing concern for web developers).
So to answer your question... You can get by with (assuming you go MS route) ASP.Net, ASP, Javascript, XHTML 4.0, CSS and XML Web Services.
