First honestly I would say that no one is going to expect from a 1 year developer that he covered all these technologies. It doesn't work like that mastering a certain technology requires time investment practice and experience in working with it. That being said I feel like your most comfortable zone is web development am I right? So for starters you should definitely focus on learning the web's fundamentals (for example try solving these HTML CSS and JS coding tests ). Also I believe jQuery will not be a problem to you you can find a lot of beginners guides on these subjects. But regarding the WCF that is a beast on its own so I would recommend you to postpone that for now. I personally feel that one can start easily with it but in order to truly know how to work with it will require quite some time and patience. I think that creating some personal WPF projects is the most efficient way of learning it (of course after you pick up its basics and fundamentals from some tutorial) but that is quite time consuming task. Nevertheless what I'm trying to say is that you should not rush in learning all the technologies that are out there. It is very questionable how far you'll be able to learn them in a short period of time honestly I believe it is very likely that you'll just end up with a low/mediocre knowledge of them. I personally believe that it's better if a developer (especially ones with low years of experience like yourself) know how to do few things great rather then a lot of things poorly. If you do few things right then it is safe to presume that you have mastered the programming fundamentals you have good coding habits (naming conversions best practices design patterns etc.) and that all indicates that you're a developer with a right aptitude toward the programming and will easily stack additional knowledge on a current one. In case you're interested here are some aptitude tests that you can use in order to test yourself out.
