I need to put a table inside another table, and would like to set the outside margins of the inner table to 0pt. How can I do this (in particular for tabularx, but hopefully this would be the same for any table environment)?

The space above and below the listing can be set using aboveskip and belowskip. The default value is \medskipamount.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{listings}
\begin{document}
\tikz \node[inner sep=1mm, text width=6cm, draw=green, line width=2pt, rounded corners]
{%
\lstinputlisting[basicstyle=\tiny\ttfamily, columns=fullflexible, breaklines=true,aboveskip=0pt,belowskip=0pt]{data.txt}
};
\end{document}
This is one option that abuses multirow. Generally this shouldn't be done. But for this case it works.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[left=2.54cm,right=2.54cm,top=2.54cm,bottom=2.54cm]{geometry}
%\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry} %% this is short.
\usepackage{tabularx,multirow}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{>{\bfseries}lX}
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Operating Systems} & Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora \\
\hline
Programming Languages & C, C++, Core Java, Core Python, Basic C\# \\
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Web Technologies} & HTML5, CSS3, XML, Javascript, Node.js, PHP, JSP, ASP.NET \\
\hline
Databases & Oracle 10g, MySQL 5 \\
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Packages} & Netbeans 8.0, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/2010/2012, Eclipse 5 \\
\hline
Linux & Bash Shell Scripting
\end{tabularx}
\end{center}
\end{document}
This is another version without abusing anything.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[left=2.54cm,right=2.54cm,top=2.54cm,bottom=2.54cm]{geometry}
%\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry} %% this is short.
\usepackage{array,calc}
\newlength{\mylen}
\setlength{\mylen}{\widthof{\textbf{Programming Languages}}}
\newcolumntype{L}{p{\dimexpr\textwidth-\mylen-4\tabcolsep\relax}}
\newcommand{\col}[1]{% %% code stolen from egreg
\begin{tabular}{@{}>{\raggedright}L@{}}
\strut #1\strut
\end{tabular}%
}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{>{\bfseries}ll}
\hline
Operating Systems & \col{Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora} \\
\hline
Programming Languages & \col{C, C++, Core Java, Core Python, Basic C\#} \\
\hline
Web Technologies & \col{HTML5, CSS3, XML, Javascript, Node.js, PHP, JSP, ASP.NET} \\
\hline
Databases & \col{Oracle 10g, MySQL 5} \\
\hline
Packages & \col{Netbeans 8.0, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/2010/2012, Eclipse 5} \\
\hline
Linux & \col{Bash Shell Scripting}
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{document}
But, you will be better off using a list instead of tabular.
Best Answer
If you are talking about the left and right margins of a
tabular(be careful with the term 'table'), they can be removed using@{}as the first and last element in the column definition:This replace the normal skip with the content inside the
{}, which is empty in this case. This also works fortabularx,arrayetc.
