As a Senior Analyst Programmer, you will be expected to have many skills under your belt.
An example of this is a high level of coding experience, for instance, in CSS.
Due to the nature of the skill, it is important that this knowledge is up to date and correct. Coding is a long and tedious process, and as such, if you are making mistakes quite often, then the workload you output is going to be greatly reduced, as is the quality of the final product.
Another form of coding available for use is HTML. HTML is a 'Java' product, much to the similarity of CSS. It is also often used in conjunction with CSS and Javascript, as they all function together and are the cornerstones of web development.
As a coder, you will experience many things. Some of these might be good, but sadly, more often than not, there's a bug in the code. This leads onto one of the required general skills, problem solving.
Coders don't work alone however, as multiple coders will often work on the same piece, whether simultaneously, or individually. However, with either option coordination is key. Due to this, team working skills are essential and give you an option if you get a bug you just can't fix on your own.
Soft Skills
Finally, as a coder, there are some things you can't be taught that are required nonetheless. Some of these include being literate enough to code, as without this ground aspect, there is very little possibility to coding.
Another important trait to have is knowledge on the subject and the task. A well educated worker will produce much greater work than that of a poorly educated worker that has to swap between tabs often in search of tutorials and guides to help them code.
Deadlines are a major part of coding; a client wants their website and states a day that it must be done by, as a coder, it is your job to meet this deadline or face complaints, harassment or even legal claims from the client if the deadline is not met.

Communication is also a very big part in this role, as clients and users will often call in to get a quick resolution, this makes it very important to have good communication skills so to efficiently take down notes are information.
Soft Skills
Finally, the soft skills you need are manners, being polite, and working to a deadline.
