| Have you got the time to read 10 or more books and articles to add value prior to the interview? This book has been
written mainly from the perspective of Java/J2EE job seekers and interviewers. There are numerous books and articles
on the market covering specific topics like Java, J2EE, EJB, Design Patterns, ANT, CVS, Multi-Threading, Servlets, JSP,
emerging technologies like AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming), Test Driven Development (TDD), Inversion of Control
(IoC) etc. But from an interview perspective it is not possible to brush up on all these books where each book usually has
from 300 pages to 600 pages. The basic purpose of this book is to cover all the core concepts and design/coding issues
which, all Java/J2EE developers, designers and architects should be conversant with to perform well in their current jobs
and to launch a successful career by doing well at interviews. The interviewer can also use this book to make sure that
they hire the right candidate depending on their requirements. This book contains a wide range of topics relating to
Java/J2EE development in a concise manner supplemented with diagrams, tables, sample codes and examples. This
book is also appropriately categorised to enable you to choose the area of interest to you.
This book will assist all Java/J2EE practitioners to become better at what they do. Usually it takes years to understand all
the core concepts and design/coding issues when you rely only on your work experience. The best way to fast track this
is to read appropriate technical information and proactively apply these in your work environment. It worked for me and
hopefully it will work for you as well. I was also at one stage undecided whether to name this book “Java/J2EE core
concepts and solving design/coding issues” or “Java/J2EE Job Interview Companion”. The reason I chose
“Java/J2EE Job Interview Companion” is because these core concepts and design/coding issues helped me to be
successful in my interviews and also gave me thumbs up in code reviews. |
