Synopsis
Java Programming Interviews Exposed, an outstanding
academic text is an excellent learning guide for improving one's interview skills for those who are seeking jobs in Java coding positions. Noel Markham, an experienced Java developer and interviewer has loaded his book with real examples from interviews he has conducted. There are over 150 real-world Java interview questions you are likely to encounter. This book helps you prepare for personality-based interviews as well as highly technical interviews. The chapter wise distribution of topics makes the book easy to follow. The book covers three main skill sets: The Interview Process, Core Java and Java Components and Frameworks. The Interview Process section prepares readers for the various interview formats that can trip up even an experienced programmer. These include telephone screening, technical at-computer or "pair testing" and the softer personality-based interviews. You can explore related topics, such as middleware frameworks and server technologies at ease. There are tips on Scala and Groovy too
two other languages that run on JVMs. The technical coding portion of the interview can be akin to a difficult puzzle or an interrogation. With the help of this book, however, skilled Java coders can prepare themselves for this challenging process and drill themselves with the knowledge and interviewing skills necessary to succeed.
