I am a student of ECE. I got selected in TCS. They have asked to prepare for subjects like UNIX, Web technologies, database concepts, JAVA. I have no idea about these subjects except JAVA. Since the time is too short, can anyone suggest me some good tutorials (mainly pdfs) or provide me some links so that I can learn the basics. Its is very important for me.

For Web Technologies goto *www.w3schools.com/W3Schools Online Web Tutorials for HTML ,CSS,JS, ASP.NET ,PHP

Database Concepts :
In a short time its best if one of your friend teaches you.
Book : Database Concepts - by Henry Korth, Sudarshan

UNIX
Have you ever used unix/linux ?
If yes the don't worry.
I suppose you would be working live with projects on Unix OS. So go ahead install UNIX on your PC or use Virtual Box /VMWare. Start getting used to it.


Have you started working ?
Tell us exactly what time you have before you start working?
Are you a fresher ?
TCS going to give you training ?

Yeah TCS is going to give me training. But before that they have asked us to prepare for these subjects and they will be conducting some tests on it. I am a fresher. Yeah I have used LINUX once in my 1st year but dont remember much. I have used UBUNTU. But I dont think that it will be helpful for me.
I have a few days more than a month left to prepare.
TCS has provided some tutorials. But they are huge. So its not possible for me to check out those.

@fz8975 - Can you provide me some links so that I can download UNIX for free?

To put things short, using Ubuntu is fine. You might mess up while installating FreeBSD.

GNU/Linux and BSD/so-called UNIX toolchain is same for all practical learning purposes.

Get a book to learn the command line. I suggest this book - Linux Command Line And Shell Scripting Bible 2nd Edition - Flipkart.com
