Are you ready for GOOGLE? - For Technical applicants


Ever dreamt of being placed at the biggest tech company in  the world "GOOGLE" , of course everyone wants to earn big bucks and have a job at google. But the question is ,do you have the skills that google looks for in a new applicants.
Many students may think that having programming skills will be enough to get in google, but believe me google asks much more than just programming.
Yes programming skills are important but only the programming skills will not land you at Google.
So today we will cover each and every things that google look for in the applicants.

The very first thing is your basics in the field of CS/IT should be clear , you can cover this part by completing this great course from edX(Introduction to Computer Science).

So lets move a bit deep:

  1. You need to know at least one object oriented language(C++/Python/Java).
     2. You need to have some other programming languages on your tips also : 
    • C
    • CSS & HTML
    • Javascript
    • PHP
    • Ruby
    • Perl
    • Shell and if you know someother language very well also it's also good.
         For most for the courses you can go to Codecademy.
       
     3. Knowledge of discrete maths and logical reasoning is also important.

     4. Develop a strong understanding for algorithms and data structures.

     5. Knowledge of Operating systems , compilers(building compilers), artificial intelligence is            also very important.

     6. Cryptography(Coursera).

     7. Do some small innovative projects , make your own website or a robot.

     8. Work on projects with other programmers and work on things like opensource etc.

Practice is an important part to achieve all the above listed techniques.
If you can spend a lot of money then you can go to  Udacity , many courses on udacity are actually developed by google , microsoft and many other tech giants.

And if you don't want to spend too much you can consider these sites :

Hello Everyone, in my last blog " Cross Platform development " I promised(kind of) to tell you "why to choose C# ?". So here we are ;-) ,  lets start exploring interesting features of  C#. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN C# and VISUAL C# When you program with C# in Visual Studio IDE it is then called Visual C# Visual C# is just the marketing name that Microsoft uses for C#, therefor Visual C# is just C#.

NOT SO COMMON C++ : Access Specifiers

Hello everyone , wecome to our NOT So Common C++ series. In the last post for NOT SO COMMON C++ we discussed about some shortcuts , initializations of pointers, structures ..etc. So today lets cover some tricky portions of C++ that are a bit confusing for the beginners. I hope you people have basic knowledge of class in C++.  Access Specifiers : public , private , protected. Lets see an example to get an overview of access specifiers- #include<iostream> using namespace std; class Example { private :     int priV ;                              // PRIVATE VARIABLE or PRIVATE MEMBER public :      Example()                           //Constructor      {             priV =  10;                 ...

Li-Fi - Experience The Lightning Speed

LiFi - Light Fedility   Ever wondered what's worse than No Internet ?................. slow internet...right. In the last decade we have seen different ways in which we connect to internet. But ever thought of connecting to the internet at a wooping speed of 10Gbps in your house, neighborhood or at your office ?... it was only made possible by the Li-Fi technology which promises to bring 10Gbps connection speed to you. Li-Fi is still very much in its developing stage but it is already making alot of noise in the tech market. According to many experts the Li-Fi industry will touch $113bn by 2022 and may surpass our dear friend "The Wi-Fi". According to the reports Li-Fi is 100 times faster than Wi-Fi. In 2014 Sisoft(mexican company) was able to transfer data at a speed of 10Gbps using light lamps i.e using lightning spectrum.  How it Works?   In Li-Fi the data is transmitted by modulating the intensity of light coming out of the LED buld(when curre...
