JDJ's Enterprise Editor, Yakov Fain (pictured) writes: If you are planning to
hit the job market, you may need to refresh some of the Java basic terms
and techniques to prepare yourself for a technical interview. Let me offer
you some of the core Java questions that you might expect during the
interviews.
For most questions I’ve provided only short answers to encourage
further research. I have included only questions for mid (*) and senior
level (**) Java developers. These sample questions could also become handy
for people who need to interview Java developers (see also the article
"Interviewing Enterprise Java Developers").
Disclaimer. This article has been originally published three or four years
ago, hundreds of thousands Java developers have read it, but I still use some
of these questions while interviewing Java developers. Guess what? Every

About six years ago I wrote a blog titled “I have no idea what Web 2.0
means“. That blog had link to a video where IT leaders were helplessly
trying to explain what Web 2.0 means. One guy said something like this,
“Everyone wants to do it, and you can’t find enough people to do it”.
I still believe Web 2.0 was nothing else but a catchy marketing term, which
helped selling such events as Web 2.0 Expo, Web 2.0 Summit, and helped
Forrester in selling their typical 7-page-for-1000-bucks-zero-info reports
(this one was quietly removed).
The Web 2.0 term is fully milked out and the... (more)
This article is a transcript from a recorded conversation Yakov Fain had with
Anatole Tartakovsky and Victor Rasputnis – his business partners at Farata
Systems. This conversation took place on the mountain after the day of
skiing.
Yakov. There are many ways of creating Web applications and creating them for
the enterprises is not the same as developing a Web site for a pizzeria in
your neighborhood. During the last five years we’ve been using mainly Adobe
Flex for development of the front end of Web applications. Flex applications
work in a well known and predictable run-time e... (more)
Clear Data Builder for Ext JS (CDBExt) is an open source tool that
automatically builds Ext JS/Java EE CRUD applications given one or more
annotated Java interfaces. The generated JavaScript and Java code enforce
best Ext JS and Java EE practices and is deployed on the development version
of the Tomcat ready to run.
A tiny library of Ext JS components accompanying CDBExt – Clear components
– enables transactional data sync with the application server, including
deeply nested hierarchical data transaction, features not supported in native
Ext JS 4.

Have you read today’s German version of Financial Times? I did. Not that I
can read German, but you don’t have to – just copy/paste the text of this
article to Google Translate’s left box. It’s smart enough to recognize
that it’s in German. Pick your language in the “To:” dropdown and enjoy
the news.
From now on, if you are software developer, your perspective employer
doesn’t have to pay you 66 thousand Euros a year, but “only” 45
thousand. Given their tax laws, it’ll translate into two thousand euros a
month after taxes.
Who can Germany attract with this amount? India, Pakist... (more)
