All the different kinds of Java????

[Markis Landis Gardner]

I need to know all the different kinds of things that go together with Java.

Here is what I have so far:

Java 2 Programming Language
Java Server Pages (JSP)
Java Beans (JB)
Enterprise Java Beans (EJB)
Java Script (JS)
Java Server Faces (JSF)
JDBC
Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)

Is that all?

Imagine you found someone who claimed to be an expert in every one of those
areas. If you needed an expert in every one of those areas, would you tech
interview in every area separately? Or are some of them grouped together
(i.e. you know 1 - you know the other)?

Thank you,

Sorry, one more question - Is there enough material in each of these to
offer many hundreds of different <practical> questions in each topic?

Sorry, I have to know, because that is how we will give our competitions,
with randomly chosen questions from list of thousands (hopefully) of
questions.

Thanks,

Markis

On the whole look at it this way.

The way you write Java (syntax) is the same throughout.

However the key thing to understand is that it is someones experience
in each of these areas that really counts. My experience is mainly in
JSP's - I am certainly not the greatest Java developer in the world but
I would probably develop a JSP website better than someone who has
focussed on developing Java applications, merely because I have learnt
ways and means of doing things though my experience of JSP development.

I would probably be able to turn my hand to all of these areas you
mention but have crucial experience in JSP's.

It all depends on what you are employing somebody for.

In terms of interview questions; I would explain the project and ask
them how they would tackle it and what experience they already have in
doing similar work.

Hope this helps!

There's no such thing as 'Java Script'.

There is a language called 'JavaScript', but other than the name it has
no relation whatsoever to Java.

Thank you. No relation other than the name? Wow.

Thanks,

Javascript is unrelated to Java.

Java Server Faces (JSF)
JDBC
Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)

Is that all?

No. It ignores Java 2 Micro Edition technologies, such as the MIDP,
CLDC, CDC, Personal [Basis] Profile, Foundation Profile and all the
related optional APIs.

You forgot J2ME (Java Mobile Edition), used for developing applications
on handheld devices and other portable-hardware systems. And JavaScript
has nothing to do with Java. It was named by some cheeky bastard to make
it sound related.

If you don't know anything about all this, where on Earth are you gonna
get thousands of questions from? And what is the aim of this competition?

You sound worryingly like a recruitment agent or, worse, a marketing
man. Make sure you know what you're talking about before you venture
into an area like this. Or snooty people like myself will eat you alive
each time you make a mistake.

When I was in high school (1980's) I used to eat tests like this guy's
gonna make for lunch. By the time I was 1/4 the way through I knew
every thing i needed to know about the expertice of the test writer, how
the test was written, and the assumptions driving the answers to score
98-99 percentile consistently. Note the entire lack of any concept of
testing for competence -- just insipid multiple-guess questions with
vague "best fit" answers.

I like the **coming soon** bit -- you gotta look at their (broken) site!

Nope. It's been irking many of us for a long time now.

By the way, do *not* top post after others have already bottom posted. Just
don't do it. It makes a freaking mess of the conversation.
