No-risk matched betting
Hands down the quickest way to make a lot of money (well, without breaking the law). Lots of students have genuinely made £100s from this technique. It's completely legal, risk free, tax free, and anyone over 18 in the UK can do it (Not in UK? Skip to no. 2).
It works by taking advantage of free bets regularly offered by betting sites through 'matching' them at a betting exchange. Matched betting eliminates the risk (you are betting both for and against a certain outcome).
This leaves you being able to squeeze out the free bet, which can be as much as £100. Multiply this by how many betting sites there are and you can quite easily come away with a profit of a few hundred pounds.
Owen walks you through how to make your first £18 profit (using a real life example) in this gem of a guide to matched betting. If you know of any better way to make £50/hr sitting at home, please let us know! -
Online surveys
An increasingly popular way for students to make money is to fill out online surveys in their spare time. Research companies are always recruiting new members worldwide to answer surveys and test new products.
For a few minutes of form filling, you can make a couple of quid which is paid as cash or rewards. You can bag up to £3 ($5) for some surveys!
A few good ones to try are: Toluna, LifePoints, InboxPounds, Onepoll, i-Say, Opinion Outpost, Panel Opinion, The Opinion Panel, YouGov, Pinecone, SurveyBods, Hiving, Panel Base, Prolific, Valued Opinions, Survey Junkie.
Also sign up for Swagbucks which rewards you for surveys as well as simply surfing the web, watching videos and playing games.
Update: See our new full guide to the best paid online surveys! -

Online market trading
Whilst this isn't necessarily an easy way to make money, investing in stock markets can be lucrative if you learn to do it properly and safely. By the same token, you may suffer significant losses if you don't take it seriously.
Today there is no need to fund the yachts of Wolf of Wall Street style stock brokers. You can do it all yourself with the help of online market trading platforms.
Having spent many hours researching this new opportunity, I've been experimenting with the two biggest platforms: Plus500 and eToro.com. Both offer free practice accounts.
Overall I prefer eToro with over 8 million users worldwide. It has been featured in a BBC 2 documentary "Traders: Millions by the Minute" and recently began sponsoring several Premier League football clubs.
One of the best things on eToro is the CopyTrader feature. This lets you literally see, follow and copy the investments of other top performing traders.
Follow George's complete guide to trading on eToro to learn more. I think $200 is a good amount to get the most out of the learning curve by trying out a few different markets. If nothing else you'll learn a great deal about various investments and industries.
Please be aware that all trading involves risk. 75% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. This content is for educational purposes only and is not investment advice. -
Start your own website
Interested in generating passive income? You need a website. It's THE way to make money while you sleep.
Starting a website with Bluehost takes less than 20 minutes, costs hardly anything and can be done by an 82 year-old. It only takes a bit of plugging on social media to get your first visitors, and there are plenty of ways to monetise your site.
Save the Student is just one example of a successful website, started at university by Owen Burek in his first year, which has since grown into a full-time and sizable enterprise.
Read Owen's step-by-step guide on how to start a website in 20 minutes. It's really one of the best assets you can have. -
Review websites & apps for cash
Well it seems like you're pretty nifty with a web browser, so perhaps it's time to turn pro and browse websites as a paid and fun job!
Introducing UserTesting.com - a new platform that pays everyday people to review all kinds of websites. Each review takes around 20 minutes and bags you $10 (£6.50) via Paypal.
Simply sign up here, complete a test review and look forward to receiving websites in your inbox. -
The 'Disney Vault' secret
Credit: Walt Disney Pictures Inc.
To keep demand high across generations, Disney Studios carefully restrict the supply of some home release classics. They are locked away in the 'vault' for 8-10 years before being released for a short unspecified time.
Buy them in this window at normal retail price and you can turn a nice profit when they go off sale for another decade or so.
For example, in 2011 you could buy Beauty and the Beast on Blu-ray 3D for just £24.99. In just a couple of years it was on Amazon for a staggering £74.99!
Importantly, not all Disney releases are subject to the vault and only the true classics will maintain such demand.
Right now there are just 2 titles out of the vault which I would recommend snapping up. They are Bambi Diamond Edition Blu-ray and The Lion King Diamond Edition Blu-ray. -
'Get Paid To' sites
Similar to making money from online surveys, GPT sites reward you in cash and vouchers for completing various offers or activities online.
The most popular sites today are Toluna, Swagbucks and InboxPounds.

Become a delivery rider or driver
Got a bicycle, motorbike or car? What about a Smartphone? That's all you need to make some extra money by delivering food or people whenever you've got some spare time.
Sign up to delivery specialist companies like Deliveroo who are always on the hunt for new riders. They allow you total flexibility to work when you want, delivering food from restaurants to the customers' door. You can make up to £16 an hour.
Double-up your opportunities by directly contacting local takeaways and bigger chains like Dominos to see if they have any delivery jobs going. -
Write and publish a Kindle eBook
If students are good at anything, it's researching and writing. With the Amazon Kindle store, anyone can publish an eBook and make money.
And the Kindle app is now available on almost any device (laptops, iPads, smartphones and yes, Kindles) so your global market is huge!
List your book for £1.49 - £6.99 and you earn 70% of the sale. Considering Amazon is the ultimate selling machine (and remember people are looking to spend), that is a fantastic deal.
The key to success with eBooks is to create value, and write non-fiction. Simply bundling information you have researched and compiled on a common problem (eg. 'secrets' to finding a job) and then presenting it in an easy to digest format (an eBook) justifies someone spending a few quid on it.
Another big tip is to have a great cover designed (browse these) so it stands out, and once your book is live on the Kindle store it's really important to get some reviews so it shows up higher in results. Encourage readers to leave an honest review at the end of your book.
The best thing about this lucrative idea is that once you've invested the time (say 20 hours), you'll earn a passive income for years to come! For a step-by-step guide to publishing and earning with eBooks, see "How to write a nonfiction eBook in 21 days". -
Affiliate marketing
If
you've got a good presence on social media or perhaps you even have a
blog or website, you can start bringing in money immediately by
promoting all sorts of companies, products, services and offers online.
Sign up as a publisher on the Awin network, check their offers blog or browse the merchant listings to find something you think your friends would be interested in, grab your affiliate link and share it. If someone buys (can be within up to 90 days) using your link you'll make a nice commission.
To take it a step further, set up a website (read our guide) or a topical Facebook page and invite all your friends to join it and post your affiliate offers on there. -
Mobile phone recycling
You can earn good money and help the environment by recycling your old mobile phones and other unused devices. Maybe ask your parents if they have any lying around too.
Head to our page on making money from old phones for the best companies to use and how to ensure you get all the cash quoted to you online. -
Become a 'Clickworker'
The Clickworker.com concept is based on 'internet crowd-sourcing' where businesses advertise specific, scalable tasks they need completing quickly. And for us, it's an easy way to make fast cash from our couch.
There are a variety of tasks, but most commonly they involve mindless data entry, web research or form filling. You are rewarded and paid in cash (via Paypal) for the work you do, and you can choose for what and when you work. Give it a go. [If you're US based, also try Amazon's 'Mechanical Turk']. -
Claim tax back
Many students work part-time or during the summer months, and others will be on placements or paid internships. More often than not, if you are a student working during the year, you will be overpaying income tax.
Why? Simply because few students reach the personal tax-free income allowance each year but are put on an emergency basic tax-code by their employers meaning tax is being paid when it shouldn't be.
To learn more and calculate how much tax back you might be due, see our guide on student tax refunds. -
Get cashback when shopping
This is not only a way to make money but also to save money as a student. If you look at it in a different way then you are making money with every purchase you would have made anyway, whether it be 10% or 0.5% cashback.
I earned this much in 2 years
There are a number of cashback sites out there which pay you the commission they otherwise would have earned.
We recommend signing up with Top Cashback, Quidco.com and Swagbucks which are free and offer the best selection of retailers and exclusives. -
Part-time job
A part-time job is the obvious first choice, opted for by most students looking to supplement their student loan. It provides a pretty steady flow of income and can enable you to gain valuable work experience.
But good jobs are not always easy to find!
Start with our student job search, then check local classifieds and your university careers service for vacancies.
It's also worth signing up with CV Library, a free service which will match your CV with suitable part-time jobs and career opportunities.
Read our guide to finding a part-time job whilst studying for more tips. -
Gigs on Fiverr
Fiverr is now the world's largest marketplace for people to make money selling small services (known as 'gigs').
What you offer could be absolutely anything, from writing and translating, social media posting, playing pranks and teaching to creating music, voiceovers and short video clips for people all around the world!
The default price is $5 (hence Fiverr..), but you can attach extra services to gigs for more money. Whilst it might not seem like much, it can quickly add up and there are plenty of examples of people making a really good living from the site. The key is to get a system in place which minimises the time spent on each gig.
But there is another way to profit even more from Fiverr for potentially far less work. How? By simply reselling gigs elsewhere. For example, find a decent logo designer then reply to jobs on Upwork or even local classifieds. A $5 spend can easily become $50+, and it's repeatable!
If you're not interested in selling at all there's SO much good stuff you can get done for yourself. Have a browse and get inspired! -
Review music for money
If you love music, make it your business by reviewing unsigned bands and artists online for cash with Slicethepie.
It can take a while to build up your reputation but some users of the site have said that they earn £40 a month. This may not sound like much, but if it's something you enjoy then it shouldn't be hard work and is another thing for your CV. Money you earn will be in $US but anyone can sign up and review.
To get started, head over to Slicethepie now or read our quick guide for more info. -
Sell your notes
If you don’t mind sharing your notes with other students it’s a great way to generate a little extra cash. There are sites out there that you can upload your notes to, along with your price, and then when another student downloads them you get paid.
Most of these sites like Nexus Notes and Stuvia are free for you to list your notes but tend to take a cut of your profit in order to handle the marketing etc so that you don’t have to go out there and promote your notes yourself.
You will most likely have to upload PDFs but it’s worth it for the return and you can submit handwritten notes but you’re likely to make more money if they’re typed up. -
Sell second-hand course books
One great way to make money is to buy other students' textbooks at the end of the year, and then sell them just after freshers' week – when the new intake of students know that they need them!
You can either advertise on campus or list them online very easily on Amazon Marketplace (just bear in mind they take a commission on books sold).
Here are 28 other things you can sell right now! -
Competitions
Entering competitions of course comes with no guarantees, but there is a growing community of so-called 'compers' in the UK consistently making up to £50,000 a year through all sorts of competitions.
Types of competitions available to enter vary from simple registration forms and Facebook page liking to answering questions correctly over the phone to being a TV game show contestant. Imagine you made it onto Deal or No Deal instead of just watching it!
Start by entering our very own monthly student competition (Follow our Instagram page to see when our next one is)!
Then head to our active competitions page to enter other free competitions that we have found. Just note that some of these sites may send you spam so use an alias email address and opt-out of as many of the offers as possible.
For loads more tips on achieving success and making money from competitions, read our guide to entering competitions. -
Buy and sell domain names
A domain name is just a website address (eg. 'savethestudent.org' or 'mysite.co.uk') and there are lots of extensions (.com, .net, .co.uk etc).
They cost as little as $0.99 to register with GoDaddy.com yet premium domain names can fetch $1,000s if not millions when sold on. In 2007 VacationRentals.com went for a cool $35m!
Now you're probably not going to come across anything like that, but you can still turn a quick profit with a bit of searching. The trick is to find available domain names which have some commercial value, snap them up and then list them for sale on a site like Sedo.com. -
Mystery shopping
Today becoming a mystery shopper is easier than you think and you can get rewarded handsomely.
There are dozens of agencies that pay you to visit all sorts of shops and restaurants to feedback on how they are performing. We've reviewed the best agencies in our guide how to become a mystery shopper.
Tasking apps are another form of mystery shopping, where you earn rewards for completing small local tasks. It can be a lot of fun too! -
Be an Extra
Do you fancy yourself as a budding young actor or just that person that walks past in the background shot of an episode of Eastenders? It could be you if you apply to be an extra in TV or film.
The pay isn't bad either: £60-80 a day on average, and you hardly have to do anything!
There are lots of casting agencies that place willing extras. They make their money by taking a cut from your earnings, so always ask what that is before you take on work.
Head over to our how to become an extra guide for 5 of the better agencies, plus lots more advice on getting your first gig. -
Sell all your old CDs, games and movies
If you are looking to make a very quick buck, then selling your old bits and bobs that are cluttering up your room is a good idea.
The best thing about it is that you can rip all the songs and films onto your laptop or external hard drive before selling them. This means that you are only really selling the plastic and artwork!
You can earn anything from 10p to £20 per item, and the earnings can really add up if you have a large collection. Whilst you're at it, see if your parents have any 'clutter' they'd be happy to see the back of.
You can also sell almost anything for free on Amazon Marketplace or Preloved and sites like MusicMagpie will pay you instantly for sending in unwanted items.
For more tips and places to sell check out our guide on selling DVDs, CDs and games. -
Sell on your education!
Becoming
a tutor to other students is easier than ever. Until recently your
market was limited to local face-to-face sessions, but thanks to online
tutoring sites you can go global!
Udemy allows anyone to create an online course (on literally anything!) and get paid forever after as users take it up.
For one-to-one tutoring, list yourself on Superprof and UK Tutors.
You can expect to earn upwards of £10 an hour, and you don't have to be highly qualified to tutor younger GCSE or even A Level students. Get started with our guide to making money as a private tutor. -
Sell your photos
If you think you've got a good shot and a little creativity, try uploading your photographs for free to stock websites. A good starting point is Adobe Stock or Getty Images.
Make more money selling photo subjects that have fewer search results but you feel would have some demand. It might be a good idea to test them out in print first yourself (get free photo prints here). -
Rent out your car parking space
Some student accommodation
comes with a drive or garage. If you aren't using your parking space
and you live in a busy area then you might be in luck. There are plenty
of people that may work in the city centre and are fed up of paying
through the roof for daily parking.
Advertise your space on Gumtree, Parklet or Just Park.
Or, check out our full guide to renting out your parking space. -
Babysitting
It's a classic money-maker, and for good reason. You get paid (well) to watch TV and not very much else - hopefully!
If you are wondering what to charge have a look at local ads, but you can expect to be paid over £9ph even if you aren't trained in childcare.
Aside from advertising yourself, it's free to create a profile on Care Babysitting. It really can be easy money (unless you get stuck with the child from hell!).
Our guide to babysitting walks you through the main considerations. For instance, in the UK you will need a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check to look after small children, even though some parents may not ask for one. -
Dog walking & sitting
If babies ain't your thing, then maybe canines are... dog sitting is big business. Students especially are likely to have free time during the day when others are out at work and worried about their pets at home.
You could bag around £8 an hour per dog, and it's also a great way to keep fit.
Join Care Pet Care who are best for dog sitting and also Tailster who specialise in dog walkers. -
Become your own bank
'Peer-to-peer' lending is the future of banking. It cuts out the middle-man, passing on higher interest rates to you and cheaper loans to borrowers. And it's all managed online from the comfort of your sofa.
Founded in 2009, RateSetter was the first to reimburse lenders on late payments or defaults through its 'Provision Fund'. Effectively it is designed to be like a normal savings account. To date RateSetter say no investors have ever lost money, and they are fully FCA regulated.
Right now you can expect to achieve up to 5% fixed return, depending on how long you choose to lend for. If you can, go for the ISA account to earn interest tax-free.
There's no fee to withdraw your money from RateSetter, unless you lock into a 1 or 5 year higher fixed interest rate where the early withdrawal fee is 0.3% and 1.5% respectively.
Update: for a limited time also get this £100 bonus when you invest £1,000 for a year. -
Work as a charity collector
Ok, so this job takes a certain kind of person, as you'll have to take a lot of rejection and be persistent.
But if you are bubbly, personable and reckon you could sell ice to an Eskimo then this could actually be a great student money making idea. You get paid commission on new sign ups (typically around £20).
Have a look at Wesser as well as charity websites like Oxfam. -
Rent out your house for filming
Directors for TV and film are always on the hunt for houses to film in. For instance, a scene for Coronation Street was recently filmed in the student house one of the Save the Student editors used to live in!
Not only can you make good money but it's crazy seeing your own place on TV. Start out by looking at this site. -
Rent out your body
If
you are comfortable taking off your kit then why not try life
modelling. Sit there in the buff while budding artists capture your
every curve (or pokey bits) in frightening detail! Try RAM, a website especially designed for these kind of jobs.
You could also get involved in clinical drug trials, but be sure you fully appreciate any risks attached.
Warning: Do not do anything you are not comfortable with, no matter how desperate you are for money! -
Freelance work
Perhaps you enjoy writing, managing Facebook pages or doing a little bit of graphic design in your spare time. There are so many freelance jobs out there that require simple skills or just time that someone else might not have.
And the best thing about freelancing is that you can work for clients in the UK and around the world with just an internet connection from home, to your own hours whilst developing valuable skills.
A great place to start is with the leading freelance site Upwork.com. Or try using our student job search to find freelance jobs closer to home. -
Sell clothes on eBay
Everyone's best friend when it comes to getting rid of junk is eBay.
Online auctions are a sure-fire way to turn that sleeveless jacket
(which came in and out of fashion in a week) into hard cash.
Some eBay sellers look at trends and try to predict what will be big ahead of the market. If you are good and don't mind taking a risk then you can buy early in bulk and sell on when the craze hits.
For lots more tips on selling on eBay read this guide. -
Sell your stories and videos
If you have an interesting story then you could try selling it to the papers. It could be anything from sleeping with a professional footballer to getting caught in a clothes horse!
One of the Save the Student team was unfortunate enough to have a pigeon fly through and smash their window at university and sold the story to The Sun for a tidy £50.
You could also film your mates at all times and send it into You've Been Framed to net yourself £250 and a few seconds of fame. -
YouTube videos
According to recent stats we now watch more videos on YouTube than searches on Google. And with the recently introduced YouTube Partner Program you can now profit from making and uploading videos. You will receive a percentage of the advertising revenue collected per 1,000 views.
Depending on how successful you are (virality, subscriber base and topic) you can make a lot of money, and there are plenty of stories every week of more and more YouTubers making it their career.
For more tips read our guide to making money from YouTube. -
Network marketing
Also
known as Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), this is a business model that
allows you to generate ongoing income in two ways: by making a
commission selling products and by recruiting other members who go on to
sell. The latter allows you to make money from the sales made by those
you have recruited.
Importantly, this is not a pyramid scheme (they are illegal) because there is an end goal which involves a customer buying a product or service of value.
It's also not a 'get rich quick' scheme. You will have to work I'm afraid! However with the growth of social media, network marketing is becoming easier and lots of people are now making a decent living from it.
This is a serious way of making good money on your own terms and it's well worth reading up on it. I recommend getting "The Business of the 21st Century" by Robert Kiyosaki. -
Source property for wealthy investors
We
all know how much money there is in property, but on the surface (with
house prices as high as they are) you might be thinking this market is
off-limits.
Truth is, lots of people make a great deal of cash simply sourcing suitable properties for wealthy investors who simply have no time.
The trick is to find properties below market value (BMV) by avoiding estate agents and instead flyering your area with your contact details offering to buy houses. Then approach investors with a no-brainer offer to pass on the details of cut-price property in exchange for a % of the sale value.
Most cities will have monthly networking events for landlords and property investors. Track these down, sign up, put on your best suit and go along with lots of business cards. Or you could start on LinkedIn or even Twitter to build some initial contacts.
As you might imagine, this isn't necessarily a quick way to make money but once you've got a few investors in your phone book it can prove to be very lucrative in the long run.
Below is a list of the top ten ways to earn money on the Internet, as well as universal advice for anyone who wants to succeed in the online world.
1. Selling Stuff on eBay
Most of you are familiar with eBay and its concept. There is a big opportunity to make money by becoming part of the eBay seller community. Start selling unused things that you already have around your home. Check your room and look for things you no longer need or wear or perhaps have never even used. So, gather your goods, create a profile on eBay, start selling, and earn a handsome sum of income.2. Blogging
If you have an outstanding experience or a passion for something, and you have something to say about it, blogging might be a profitable path to discharge your thoughts. Depending on the topic of your blog and the amount of traffic it produces, you can take part in many online marketing programs. You can sign up for ad services like Google Adsense, which could cause some additional spending money for you.3. Designing and Selling
The infinite growth of the Internet has made it possible for everyone to show their talent all over the world. In fact, there are some websites that permit you to put up your own online boutique like a clothing or painting store. For example, if you can create your own shirt design or come up with your own unique dressing style, you can start making money by showing your talent to the world.4. Freelancing
If you work from your own home most of the time; you can start doing freelancing which is similar in some ways to blogging. Some fields where freelancing is common include: journalism, publishing, screenwriting, photojournalism, , event management, copy editing, web design, graphic design, website development, consulting, video editing, and translating. If you’re passionate about writing on different topics like technology, travel or food, a freelancing job can provide you a good income.5. Financial Services
The innovation of internet technology has made everything possible. It has changed businesses around the world. Businesses are no longer restricted to any country and people are getting rich over night through investing in stock markets. Companies are hiring consultants online to handle financial services like bookkeeping, accounting, tax preparation, or payroll processing. These cost-saving opportunities for businesses mean extra money earning chances for you.6. Video Sharing
There is a growing consumption of video conferencing on the go; more and more people are utilizing their mobile phones and tablets instead of their desktop computers. Mobile phones have escalated to 33 percent usage while tablets are up to 34 percent.New systems such as Blue Jeans video sharing enable participants to join in the meeting whether they are on their laptops, phones, or tablets. There are several popular websites that may pay you for uploading videos on websites. If you have some interesting videos to share, then this could be a great way to make money online. Some of the most common places that pay you to upload videos and share them are YouTube, Blip, Dailymotion, and Break.7. Customer Service
Many companies now offer customer service electronically through their websites and by e-mail. Businesses are increasingly hiring home-based workers for online customer services to cover e-mail and live chat support in addition to inbound and outbound phone calls. However, as a commission based or a minimal pay rate job, the growing demand for online customer service is a reliable source of income if you have a knack for it.8. Become a virtual assistant
A virtual assistant is the best job to have if you want flexibility at work. As a virtual assistant you can service multiple clients at the same time. A virtual assistant normally charges $15-20 depending on the specifics of the job. You will be assigned tasks like blogging outreach, research, product listings and responding to emails. SEO reviewing can also extend a steady income from home that means improving the results of a website from a search engine for the user’s desired results. Search engine optimization (SEO) is a growing area for Internet-based employment.9. Tutoring
With every passing year, there appear to be increasing opportunities for private instructors that can help elementary, middle and high school pupils. Since we often have reliable high-speed Internet connections at home, families prefer Internet-based tutoring services. You could start your own online tutoring service; sites like Tutor can assist you in terms of marketing. Websites like these are connecting thousands of kids with tutors each week. Like many other Internet based jobs tutoring offers flexible hours and several shifts, though tutoring services would require you to be online during a specific time.10. Selling Handmade Goods
Earlier, we talked about using sites like eBay to sell stuff that you don’t need. You can also build your own website or use third party online platforms which are dedicated to connect artists with customers who treasure and want to buy their goods.You can sell some traditional crafts like knitting, needlework, crochet, painting or sculpting and also advertise woodwork, glass-work, metalwork and anything else you’re capable of making at home.
If you are running a small home-based operation then creating a site might be the best way to earn extra money. For many people, hosting and managing an entire website might be a full-time job by itself.
How to Become A Successful Java Developer?
So much so that according to the TIOBE Index for April 2019, Java is the number one programming language. In fact, Java is used in almost every company, whether they be small companies or big tech giant companies like Google, Amazon, etc. So, becoming a Java Developer in today’s world can enhance your career very well! And that is why I am going to share the points on becoming a successful Java Developer:
1. Master the Core Java SE
First, start with Core Java(Java SE) and master it as much as possible. You should know and understand basic concepts like loops, arrays, operators and many more. Also, Java SE has a range of general-purpose API’s like java.lang, java.io, java.math, etc. and you should have a basic knowledge of them at least. You should also start learning OOP’s concepts as they are well known in Java.
2. Keep Practising Java
Whatever you learn in Core Java, just keep practicing it so that you can write the syntax without any basic errors. Also, it is easy to provide a solution to a problem in theory but the challenge lies in practically implementing the approach as you will understand the language limitations and best design practices. So keep coding and practising Java as much as possible and also try to make mini projects on whatever topic you learn.
3. Learn Java EE
After Finishing Core Java Start learning Java EE(Enterprise Edition) which is also known as Advanced Java. When you start learning Java EE you are able to work on web development as Java EE has specifications for additional features like distributed computing and web services. This includes technologies like Servlet, WebSocket, Java Server Faces, etc. for web specifications.
4. Make Projects With Servlets and JSP
Whatever you learn in Java EE just combine it with Front End technologies such as HTML, CSS, Javascript and try to make mini projects on specific topics as it will sharpen your mind. Also, it is important that you make atleat two projects, one with Servlet and second with JSP. This is because without making projects on these you will never be sure about how much you know in this programming language.
5. Learn Hibernate and Spring Frameworks
When you complete both Java SE and Java EE then you must learn Java Frameworks which include the Hibernate Framework and Spring Framework. These are the most popular frameworks of Java. In fact, most Java Development Companies these days use Spring frameworks such as Spring Boot, Spring MVC, and Spring Cloud for developing a web application, etc. Hibernate framework is also very popular for mapping a domain object-oriented model to a relational database and also the Hibernate Query Language. So if you know these frameworks and you can make projects on these then you will have a great chance of getting selected for the role of a Java Developer in any company.
5 Most Difficult Programming Languages of the World
1. Brainfuck
As the name suggests, this language is really complicated and coding in this language is really difficult. It was created in 1993 by Urban Muller and the main purpose to create this language was to write minimal lines of code. This language operates in an array of memory cells and there are only 8 commands defined in this language to write any program.Example: Hello World! Program
++++++++++[>+++++++>++++++++++>+++>+<<<<-]>++.>+.+++++++..+++.>++.<<+++++++++++++++.>.+++.------.--------.>+.>.Check the output of this code from here.
2. Cow
We know that the name of this language sounds a funny name for you but it is actually a programming language and it was created by Sean Heber in 2003. This language consists of 12 instructions and the funniest thing about this language is the keyword ‘moo’ (sound of a cow) or it’s variations used in this language. Writing any other character or word considered as a comment in this language. It was based on the language used in Turing Machine.Example: Hello World! Program
MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO Moo MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO Moo MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO Moo Moo MoO MoO MoO Moo OOO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO Moo MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO Moo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOoMOo MOo MOo MOo MOo Moo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo Moo MoO MoO MoO Moo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo Moo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MOo MooOOO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MoO MooCheck the output of this code from here.
3. Intercal
This language was created in 1972 by Don Woods and James M. Lyon and they both were students at Princeton University. This language doesn’t have any pronounceable acronym. Creators of this programming language included keywords like Read out, Ignore, Please, Forget, and likewise to make this language user-friendly. The funny thing about this language is that it expects 4 Please keyword in code to check programmers politeness. If it will be less the code won’t execute because it will consider the programmer is insufficiently polite. If it will be 5 or more than 5 then also it won’t execute because it will consider the programmer is overly polite.Example: Hello World! Program
DO ,1 <- #13Check the output of this code from here.
PLEASE DO ,1 SUB #1 <- #238
DO ,1 SUB #2 <- #108
DO ,1 SUB #3 <- #112

4. Malbolge
This language was introduced by Ben Olmstead in 1998 and the amazing fact is that it took almost two years to write the first program so you can imagine the complexity of this language. Coding in this language looks like garbage or malfunction and it is said to be that Ben Olmstead has never written a single program in this language. Malbolge is a public domain esoteric programming language and considered as one of the hardest programming languages in the world.Example: Hello World! Program
('&%:9]!~}|z2Vxwv-,POqponl$Hjihf|B@@>,=<M:9&7Y#VV2TSn.Oe*c;(I&%$#"mCBA?zxxv*Pb8`qo42mZF.{Iy*@dD'<;_?!\}}|z2VxSSQ

This language was introduced by Edwin Brady and Chris Morris on 1st April 2003 (April fools day). The day it was introduced people thought it was a joke but it wasn’t actually. You are allowed to use only spaces, tabs, and linefeeds to write your code in this language. Any other character will be ignored by the interpreter.Example: Hello World! Program. Don’t confuse as the source code only contains the whitespace and tabs. Check the output of this code from here.

8 Technical Courses To Get a Job in IT
In today’s world, technical jobs are one of the highest-paying jobs. Most IT, Software and Electronics engineer dreams for such a job. Over 1.5 million engineers graduate from India alone every year out of which around 1 Lakh are from Computer Science, IT and Electronics, but the employee requirements of the software companies are not that high. Software companies in India take up around 10,000 engineers per year(approx.). So the question now is how to be among those 10,000 engineers. The answer would be to make yourself different from others. In simple words, you need to have some extra technical skills which would make you stand out in the crowd. Below is the list of some courses that would help you to do so. You can take up these courses while you are in college too.
1. Web Designing
As the name suggests, in this course you’ll learn how to design a website. You are reading this article too on a website which is also designed by a web designer. We come across loads and loads of websites in our daily life so, we can imagine the number of jobs which will be there related to this field. No pre-requisites are required to learn web designing just a bit of creativity will do the job. For more details, you can read the article How can I start to learn Web Development?2. Data Science
Data Science is the study of data and processing it. This course is not necessarily only for an IT or Software Engineer but other branches can also show interest in this field. Data Science course is not a short duration course. It can be done as a Post Graduation course for a 10-12 month duration. India has many institutes that offer data science as a PG course. To know more about this, you can read the article How to Become Data Scientist?3. Industrial Automation Courses
This category contains many courses such as Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). These systems are generally used to control or monitor the different machines in industries such as energy, telecommunication, transportation, etc. HMI (Human Machine Interface) software is also used to interact with machines directly. So, the HMI course is also a good option. Many companies in India provide 1 month or 2-month course in these fields for example SIEMENS.4. Machine Learning
It is an application of artificial intelligence where we focus on the development of computer programs that will help the system to learn and improve from experience without programming them explicitly. Pre-requisites to start learning ML are linear algebra, statistics and probability, and prior programming experience.5. IoT (Internet of Things)
Although IoT is a new technology and is yet in the developing phase in India. IoT is used to control anything using the internet like switching lights, TV and stuff. It doesn’t have any major pre-requisite, just an interest in programming and circuits will help you to learn this course. The more creative you be the higher is the chance of doing something great in this field.6. Simulation Software
There are many software like MATLAB, Simulink, and Multisim which are used especially in Electronics core companies to kind of simulate the hardware before actually making it. Hence, if you know how to work on this software then it will add an extra charm to your technical skills. You could learn these software online as well as offline. With a bit of interest, this software can be learned in a few days and you should have good theoretical knowledge about circuits.7. App Development
Apps are convenient to use for everyone. We have apps for everything be it learning, teaching, music, etc., there are endless apps on the internet hence, there is endless need of app developers too. You can take up either android app development or IOS app development or if you have time you can learn both. Pre-requisites for android app development are Java and SQL and for IoS, you should know how to work with Objective C.8. Digital Marketing
Digital Marketing has some highest paying job opportunities. Nowadays, marketing has become so important that companies invest immensely in marketing. Taking this course would also be a smart choice if it has your interest. It just requires one’s creative skills to start this course.
Two-factor authentication
(2FA) refers to two steps you must take to get into an online account
after you enter your user name. The first step is entering your
password. The second can be any number of things, including entering a
unique code, plugging in a specific physical device, or responding to a
prompt. Each online account uses its own method or methods.
Gmail's 2FA is called 2-Step Verification. The primary method used
for 2-Step Verification is a Google Prompt. That is, when you go to sign
in to Gmail, you enter your user name and password. Then Google (which
controls Gmail) sends a prompt to your mobile device. You must respond
to the prompt before you're allowed access to Gmail. You can choose a
different method if you prefer. For example, you can opt to receive a
text code that you enter before you're allowed to access Gmail.
When you use 2-Step Verification in Gmail, you give yourself an additional layer of protection from hackers. This is true even if your password is strong and you have malware protection in place.
Even if you activate 2-Step Verification, your Gmail account can
still be hacked. If you need greater security for your email
correspondence, there are a number of secure email options available to try. Just remember that no email application is completely secure.
