Top technical skills which may fetch you a Job Quickly....

          Programming or coding is considers as one of the basic requirements to secure a job in IT field. Software field is always a great opportunity to get a job quickly as the number of software companies is rising day by day but there is also many aspirants of job so there is also a lot of competition. Along with this the growth of IT industry is also resulting in replacement of old software programming languages by new efficient ones. So it is very necessary for the job seekers to know about the current trends and to keep updated themselves by learning those new skills.

          This post is an attempt to help you know the trending technologies in IT sector which may be helpful for the readers to be ready with the required skills.

1        1. Core JAVA :

          JAVA is currently the most popular among the programming languages. Its features like platform in-dependency and object oriented approach makes it very different and advantageous among the other languages.

          If you are new to programming you may get a suggestion to start the learning from c and C++ but I think personally that you can start straight away with JAVA, as it’s the language which is demand and u may end up wasting time on c and C++ because there won’t be much help from learning c and C++ before java.

         It is used in many areas like software developments mobile application development etc there is always a great chance to get a job quickly by learning java.

          There are many websites which offer you free java classes online you can take help from these

But I prefer going through the video tutorials before going through the theory part and you can refer these links- Beginners Tutorial(for beginners)  Intermediate (if u know the basics and want to be pro).

2. JavaScript:

          JavaScript is getting very popular nowadays in the field of web development and according to some surveys it has already surpassed JAVA.

          It is basically a language which is used to extend the functionality of a website. It operates on the client side of the network so the server side requires less bandwidth(less problem of server being down) which is the great advantage of using JavaScript. It is also very easy to understand because the language seems very close to simple English. All these advantages are making it very popular in the field of web development. So it will be very helpful if u spend some time to learn this language.

2. Sequential Query Language(SQL):

          SQL is currently the most popular language to manage Database. It will remain in the top position as there is not efficient replacement for SQL. Having good knowledge in SQL along with some other programming language is what most of the companies expect. According to Indeed.com it is the number one language ranked by number of jobs offered. It doesn't involve sequential commands like JAVA or C. It includes writing queries and the system does all the operations to perform that query.

          It is considered as a universal language or database management because SQL is used by most of the database management system. Some of them are open source like MySQL, PostgreSQL and there are some closed source as well like Oracle and IBM DB2.

          Although the implementation of SQL will be slightly different, the core SQL language will be same. So you can start learning the basics of the language before you decide the type of database you use.

Data Scientist, Data Analyst, Big Data Engineer and even Marketing Specialist use SQL.

4. Hadoop :

         In the field of big data processing Hadoop is the next big thing. Big data business is everything about storing processing and analysing unstructured data like videos photos tweet and Facebook comment of the user which may be helpful to the company to concentrate on the likes of the users. As the number of companies trying to get the insight out of massive data growth in their business is increasing big data processing will increase very rapidly in next few years. According to The Hindu by the end of 2018 India alone will face a shortage of 2 lakhs data scientists. So this is the right time to spend some time in learning the next big thing.

         As the demand of Hadoop skilled people is not getting satisfied by the supply learning Hadoop may find very useful when are attempting to get a job.

5. HTML/CSS:

          If you want to get a career in web development and if you like to start with the front end development of websites these two are the languages to learn. With the knowledge of HTML/CSS along with JavaScript you can create everything from simple web pages to awesome web applications. There are lot of freelance working opportunities available if you manage to learn these technologies.

          There are some advantages of HTML/CSS which can motivate you to earn these languages. As it is a frond end designing language it is very easy to learn. It also allows you to have an idea about how all web pages have been designed every time you visit a webpage.

6. PHP:

          After HTML/CSS, PHP is the language which is in demand in designing WebPages. Even the Facebook technology stack consist of application developed using PHP. This indicates the popularity of this language at global level. There are a lot of people saying that PHP is losing its prominence to Ruby but I think when it comes to the software companies requirement PHP is still the preferred one.

          This language is also the one with which you can start your freelance career in web development if you are planning to have one.        Because many people use wordpress, wix etc for their websites which can be developed efficiently using PHP.

7. Python:

          It is another popular open source object oriented language and also it is a general purpose language i.e. it can be used to build anything (it is used in data analysis, Artificial Intelligence, Scientific Computing, games, desktop apps etc). It is considered as one of the best beginner friendly language as it is very easy to understand and fun to use. According to US University it has replaced even java in popular introductory languages.

          There are no hard rules on building features using python (But it is not good practice which the companies may consider). It is said to be a little slow when compared to java and that’s why there have been development of faster implementations like PyPy which are faster but it doesn’t beat Java. Even though it is slow there is a great demand for this language and it is still the preferred. So spending time to learn this won’t be a waste for sure.

As Big Data is getting popular, leaning Python can give you many opportunities to work as a Data Scientist. Although Ruby is giving a tough competition in back end web development but the possibility of Python losing the popularity to Ruby is very less.

8. Ruby on Rails:

           Ruby is the language which is written on the Rails platform is called as Ruby on Rails. Ruby is the language which is becoming popular in the field of web development and it is the tough competitor to python and HTML/CSS as this language covers both Front End and Back End designing.

          Like PHP Python and HTML it is also considered as a very easy language to learn. Another major advantage of Ruby is comparatively less coding in terms of length. It is a open source language like the Python. There is a chance to learn HTML/CSS, and JavaScript along with Ruby which option is not available in any other languages.

          When it comes to the companies requirements, the Ruby developers have great demand and average salary is also very high when compared to other developers.

9. C, C++ and C#:

          Some companies are using C languages and there is still demand for the knowledge of C languages. Knowing c will help you to learn C++ and C# quickly as most of the syntax and features are same among them. As a middle level language it combines the benefits of low level and high level languages.

          C languages are widely used in scripting operating system like UNIX, in development of new programming languages, in designing graphics and games and also in development of web browsers.

          If you are a graduate from a non IT background like Electronics or Electrical etc and if you love coding then learning C and C++ will give you a great opportunity to apply your programming skills and knowledge of electronics together in the field of embedded system which is of great scope nowadays. You can make awesome projects by using micro-controllers and also you can sell them to make some money.
