Development background (or interest) will actually help you with InfoSec tasks and make you stand out in a crowd. I often find myself referring to some of the old C++ textbooks from the college days. :-)
skripting, and interpreted languages such as perl and python are equally valuable and handy. So are Javaskript, PHP, etc if your functions are web-security oriented.
I see certifications as a tool that helps set goals. You keep disciplined because of your investment of time and money, your aim to pass the cert, and the tight timeline to prepare and be ready to tackle the exam.
SANS certifications are very good for starters, but are expensive. If your company offers you to pick a training, your best bet is to go for one of theirs.. such as SANS401/Security Essentials, or SANS504/Incident Handling - if you are already comfortable with the Network and Security basics.
Good Luck Alche.. your new role will hopefully make you 'active'. :D
