Many of software Engineers find it incredibly difficult to transit to a professional life even after learning 4-years of computer science.

The reason is that although the tools listed below are extensively used in profession but they are seldom taught in any college in the world.

So, in order to help them make a smooth transition, I am presenting a list of important/popular/handy tools that a college student would find everywhere while working in a company:

DB Tools:

  1. MySQL (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/)
  2. ElasticSearch (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index.html)
  3. MongoDB (https://docs.mongodb.com/guides/)

Messaging Queues

  1. Apache kafka
  2. RabbitMQ

Languages:

  1. Python
  2. PHP
  3. Javascript

Frameworks:

  1. Laravel (https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/)
  2. Django (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/)
  3. ReactJS (https://www.tutorialspoint.com/reactjs/index.htm, https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html)
