I am not sure if this is the right place to seek help, if not pardon me for posting this here, but i feel u can guide me. I completed by BE in computer science in 2005 but after that i couldn’t take up a job till now due some personal reasons. Now that i am ready to take up a job. I applied to some companies here in India for entry level positions, but all of them got rejected saying u got a big gap from the time you finished your education. Its true that i have become a little outdated as far as my skill set is considered. I am very keen on pursuing a career as an application developer. So could u please guide to upgrade my skill set to the current industry requirements (which i am completely unaware of)…like the languages, technologies, or any kind of certifications if required. How can i get started?? If you could help me … it will be of great help.. continuous reject at interviews is making me feel very low…just need some help very badly….Hoping to get a reply.

I am familiar (beginner level - all of them self learnt)with PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript. As part of my degree i have learnt languages like C, C++, Java, VB, VC++ And also Oracle in DB , but these r little rusted in my memory.
