      "body": "My Experiments with Hacking\nA blog on hacking and cyber security.\nBecome an Independent software developer\nPosted on 1:46 AM by Thanglalson Gangte\n\nTarget audience: Computer science students or graduates.\n\nSo, you are a computer science student or you  just completed your graduation, now what? You can start looking for a job or prepare for campus placements or, you can become an independent software developer. The best part of this is that you can start earning money as well as gain professional experience, and the best part?  You are your own boss!\n\nSo, what does an independent software developer do? Well, to start with, you can develop custom applications for small firms, shops or institutions.  Some people earn Rs.10,000 to 50,000 for small to medium sized projects. After you gain some experience and depending upon your reputation in the industry, you can start earning lots more by developing large scale applications or maybe even start your own software consulting company. In this (rather crude) article, I will attempt to show you the way to achieve all this.\n\nAll you need is a little background in computer science. For all those BCA/BSc or Engineering students, this will be relatively easy compared to other graduates. Either way, the first step to becoming an independent software developer is to get proficient in the latest technologies and programming languages.  We will talk about Web applications here as it is the more popular and a little easier than developing desktop applications. However, if you want to develop desktop applications, you can use Visual Studio, QT framework , Netbeans IDE etc.  Visual Basic 6 used to be popular, but it is now highly outdated although you can still use it. Many universities and colleges still teach Visual basic 6 today.  If you want, I can even write another article on developing desktop applications. Let me know in the comments.\n\nNow, for developing web applications, you will be using one among these languages; asp, php or jsp.  These three technologies are the most popular today. I would suggest using php as it is free,open source and easier to learn. PHP is a server side scripting language. The syntax is also a bit similar to C. You can use asp if you have experience with it or if  you made your final year project with it.\nAll right, now let's talk about PHP. In order to be able to develop full fledged applications with php, you need to know a few other things.\n\n1.The  PHP language itself.\n2. MySql database\n3. Ajax\n3.Client server technology.\n\nYou can learn these technologies  all by yourself from the tons of tutorials available on the net.  This will be the most cost effective way. Or, you can take a course at a computer institute nearby.   MySql is the database which stores data from your application in a secure and  easy to retrieve manner.  PHP and MySql have native support for each other, so they are the best combo.  Next, you will have to design the site where you will host your web application. Since it will be only for the staff or employees to use, it need not be beautiful. You can use Dreamweaver or any other web designing software to design the forms, like text field, buttons etc. You don't need to be an expert web designer although a little proficiency helps. Along with HTML, you will need to know a bit of CSS and JavaScript if you want to make your webpage more interactive and beautiful. (This combination of HTML,CSS,JavaScript, etc is known as AJAX). This part is optional, because you can have a plain looking webpage but still have an excellent application, as long as you know what you are doing. \nYou can develop your applications using the WAMP or XAMPP platform.  WAMP and XAMPP are a readymade combination of Apache web server, MySql, and PHP.  Here you can test and deploy your application.\n\nNext comes  the web server where you will deploy your application. You can have an Internet based application , or an Intranet based application. If your client needs the application to be accessible from anywhere through the Internet, you will need to buy a domain name or use an existing domain name. You can buy a domain for as cheap as Rs.100 a year, if you are lucky. You will also need a PHP MySql web hosting provider. You will host your web application here. This may be as cheap as Rs. 800 a year, depending on the provider you choose.Here  are a few web hosting providers.\n\nIf you want your site/application to be accessible only from the local network, it is called an intranet site. This is much simpler and easier than the Internet based one.  You will need a desktop computer where you will host your site and database. Other computers will connect to this server  via LAN or wifi. The only requirement here is that your server be on during working hours so that employees can use the application.  Another important aspect is the security of your application. You need to learn some basic secure coding and web app pentesting methods, that way, your site will be safe from hackers.\n\nHopefully, if you are still reading this article, you now know how to develop a PHP application and start earning some money. You can take help from people who are already working in the software industry.  The best way to get about in this field is to offer your first few projects free of cost.  This will be your portfolio and people will start entrusting you with their software needs after that.  \nYour feedback and comments are always welcome.\n\n\nThis entry was posted in earn money, freelance\nhttps://www.learncs.org/",

      "body": "10 ways you can earn money as a computer science student\nMy Experiments with Hacking\nA blog on hacking and cyber security.\nYou may be a BCA or BTech student studying computer science. During your 3 or 4 year degree course, you can earn some pocket money and also gain experience at the same time. I have listed here 10 ways you can earn money, not much, but like I said, enough for pocket money. The concept of earning while in college is relatively more common in the west than here in India. In India, we tend to view college life as  either studies only or enjoyment only, depending on the student.\nDevelop websites for others\nSince you are a computer science student, you can develop websites for people.  Initially, it might be hard to find a client as you have no experience, so, develop your own websites and showcase them as your portfolio.  You can develop static html pages or dynamic php or asp pages depending on your choice of languages.   If a traditional website is what your client wants, you can use popular Content Management Systems(CMS) like wordpress or joomla. Wordpress and joomla are readymade website' templates' and are very easy to set up. You may even offer a whole website package which includes  the domain name, website , email , hosting and support. This can earn you some money as well as give you experience to enhance your resume.\nBecome a freelance software developer\nBecoming a software developer is not difficult, but it requires a lot of effort and perseverance. It is similar  like becoming a website developer except that you will be developing software applications for small businesses and enterprises.  You can start by developing a student management software for your school or college. They may or may not use it, but it will give you some experience to start with.  If you will be developing GUI  desktop applications, you have an array of choices like VisualStudio, QT C++, Netbeans, Delphi etc.  I have written an article on becoming a software developer here.\nRepair computers of friends/family\nIf you want to plan your career in the hardware and networking path, you can start by offering services - like repairing  computers and  windows installations - to  friends and family members.  This will greatly enhance your troubleshooting skills also.  The objective here is to establish a name for yourself. You can then expand to shops and cyber-cafes where computer services are in great demand.  After you have achieved some repute, you can start charging people for  your services.\nWork part time in call centers as technical  support role\nThis will help you in two ways. One, you will gain some technical know-how about troubleshooting, two, you will learn some people skills and communication skills. You can work part time in a nearby call center or company. Although part-time jobs are hard to come by these days, you can still find them if you look hard enough.\nParticipate in programming  contests.\nThere are many programming and software development contests going on all over the world. Most of them are online. The benefit here is twofold; enhancing your programming skills as well as a cash prize, if you win. The best example is the IBM - The Great Mind Challenge , although t is only  for Indians. There are many other contests like this all over the world. Google is your best friend.\n Write tech related articles\nYou can write technology themed articles. For this, you can either start your own blog or join an online freelance website like Elance, Odesk or Freelancer. At any given time, there are plenty of potential clients in these sites hiring freelancers to write their tech blogs or websites.\n Help others in online(paying) forums such as ealp.com\nThere are several forums online which pay you for answering questions people ask. The best I can think of is the Earn And  Learn Program (www.ealp.com). Payment from this site is made once a month. I tried this once, and I got a cheque of Rs. 1000 for a month's work (10 minutes a day). You can earn around 5000 in a month, but It will consume much of your time.\n Internship at a software company\nMany software/IT  companies take interns for technical work. Although internships are not easy to find in India, the situation seems to be better in the west. Once you get a job as an intern, you can work at the company for about 2-6 months. This can be counted as experience and will enhance your resume. Twenty19 is an excellent website for searching for internships. They list both paying and non paying internships all over India.\nDevelop android/mobile apps and sell it\nDownload the Android SDK and start developing android applications. Android is one of the hottest mobile Operating Systems available today. With Karbonn and Micromax launching cheaper and cheaper  Android phones, the market is huge. Develop games or applications and sell them in the Google Play store. You can develop Symbian and  Apple apps also.\n Become a freelance ethical hacker\nYou can learn hacking and once you are good enough, you can start becoming a freelance cyber security consultant. This idea is not  mainstream and only few people will be  up for this. That is why it is in the last. It will be quite difficult to do this, but once you earn a certain repute as a freelance pen tester, your earnings will be good. You can start by offering to secure the computers of others and remember to  constantly practice  in your hacking lab. I am currently doing just this through Elance.com. 2 years ago, I signed up for a free elance account and now people hire me to test their websites  after looking at my elance profile. \nThis entry was posted in earn money, freelance\nhttp://www.gangte.net/2013/03/10-ways-you-can-earn-money-as-computer.html",
