Questions & Answers

1. What do you understand by client-server concept?
A. A software component that services requests from another software component is called a server. The component making the requests is the client.
The idea of client/server programming is to maximize the benefits of the desktop. The client and server can be present on the same computer or on geographically distant computer connected over a network . Some of the benefits of C/s computing are :
Flexibility, scalability and cost savings in terms of resource utilization and centralized control.

2. What is meant by 3-Tier architecture ?
A. 3 Tier architecture is a method of deploying the client/server technology in real –world situations. The 3 tiers are :

• GUI front-end - Takes care of the end-user interaction and validation of input
data
• Business logic layer - It encapsulates the business processing logic for the data
entered by the user or the data to be processed and given as output to the user. It can be implemented as a collection of reusable and upgradable software components .
• Data-processing layer - It takes care of the data processing , storage and
retrieval of the stored data.

3. What are the advantages of 3-Tier architecture over 2-Tier architecture?
A. In 2-tier architecture we only have the application layer and the data-processing layer.
The application layer is a combination of the GUI front-end and the business logic.
The following are the disadvantages of the 2-tier architecture (which in turn are the advantages of 3-tier over 2-tier ) :
• The application is not easily upgradable.
• The size of the application is large.

3-tier arch. Provides :
• Maximum performance
• Security
• Ease of maintenance.

4. What do normalization and Denormalization mean?
Normalization is the process of simplifying the relationship between data elements in a data structure .

OR
The task of the database designer is to structure the data in a way that eliminates unnecessary duplication and provides a rapid search path to all necessary information. The process of dividing the information into separate tables that meet these goals is called Normalization.

Denormalization is the reverse process of normalization wherein the normalized data is merged to form a larger data structure that might have redundant data.


5. What are the different degrees of normalization?
A. A relation is in 1st Normal form if and only if all underlying domains contain atomic values only.

A relation is in 2nd normal form if and only if it is in 1NF and every nonkey attribute is fully dependent on the primary key.

A relation is in 3rd Normal form if and only if it is in 2NF and every nonkey attribute is nontransitively dependent on the primary key.

A relation R in 4th normal form if and only if , whenever there exists a multi-valued dependency in R, say A ->-> B (attribute B is multi-dependant on attribute A), then all attributes of R are also functionally dependent on A .

A relation R is said to be in fifth normal form also called Projection Join Normal form (PJNF) if and only if every join dependency in R is implied by the candidate keys of R.

6. Do you know ODBC?
A. ODBC is Open-database Connectivity. It provides access to any database which has a
ODBC database driver .
The database can be a client/server database that conform to ODBC standards
eg. SQL Server , Oracle etc.

An ODBC driver-manager provides an interface from the host language to the specific
Back-end data source driver. The driver manager is responsible for :
• Loading the remote database drivers specified in the DSN entry
• Initializing the interface
• Providing entry points to driver entry points
• Validating parameters and managing serialization of ODBC functions

ODBC driver is a DLL that can interface with a specific back-end database engine
Eg. MS-SQL server , Oracle , sybase etc.
An ODBC driver takes advantage of specific back-end features such as cursors or parameterized queries . It can also implement some other features not supported by the back-end. If the driver doesn’t support a specific feature it returns an error stating that it doesn’t support the feature .

7. What are the factors that influence ODBC response time ?
A. The main factors that influence the ODBC response time are :
• Network load
• The complexity of the SQL queries
• The speed of the machine on which the server executes
• The RAM of the machine on which the server executes
• The number of records that are likely to be returned as result of the query.
• The physical location of the database and number of connections to database

8. In how many ways can VB implement ODBC ?
A. VB can implement ODBC in the following ways :
• Using Data control and connecting to a database like SQL Server , Oracle
• Using DAO objects and using the dbUseODBC parameter in the CreateWorkspace methods ie. Using ODBC Direct
• Using Remote Data Control
• Using Remote Data Objects
• Using ODBC API calls

9. What is OOPS ?
A. OOPS is Object Oriented Programming. The main features of OOPS are :
Data hiding & encapsulation
Polymorphism
Inheritance
Data Abstraction

The advantages of OOPS over structured programming are :
• Data hiding
• Code reusability
• Lower costs in building systems
• Flexibility

10. How VB 5.0 implements OOPS ?
A. VB implements OOPS concepts in the following ways :\
• Data hiding is implemented using the “Public , Private scoping keywords “
• Polymorphism is implemented using the “Implements “ , ParamArray , Optional keywords
• Inheritance is implemented in the sense of interface inheritance and not implementation inheritance (ie. Not like C++ inheritance)

11. Explain code-reusability in OOPS programming / VB ?
A. In VB we have the concept of ActiveX code components and ActiveX controls. The code for a
certain functionality need not be re-written if the code components /controls are available to the developer. The references to the code components and controls can be set in VB and the functionality exposed by them can be used in one’s projects. This decreases development time .

12. What is the difference between the following lines of code ?
Dim X as Object
Dim X as class_name

In the first statement the compiler uses Late Binding of the object. The object to be used is not known until run-time. Because the late binding does not use the type library during the design time, a reference is not set to the component.

In the second statement the compiler uses Early Binding. The object variable refers to a discreet object type and hold pointers only to that object type. VB will have explicit knowledge of the object through its type library by setting a reference to the component. With this VB will be able to display data about the available methods and properties, as well as the syntax of the each method or property called.

13. Explain something about Active X and how do you us it?
A. An ActiveX component is a unit of executable such as an exe or dll or ocx file that follows ActiveX specification for providing objects . An ActiveX component exposes objects that can be used by other applications .
ActiveX components used are ActiveX code components, ActiveX documents , ActiveX Controls , ActiveX clients.

14. What is an OLE Server?
A. An OLE server is a code component that exposes some of its methods and properties to
other applications. An OLE Server can be an In-Process server (implemented as an OLE DLL) or an out-of-process server (OLE EXE) .


15. Which is more advantageous – using DLLs or objects ?
A. See in Answer 14.

16. Do you know about COM / DCOM ?
A. COM is Component Object Model. It is an object-oriented architecture for building applications and the foundation on which ActiveX components are built. ActiveX components allow programmers to combine re-usable pieces of code into applications and services .

It specifies the blue-print of how objects can be created from their component.
How a client accesses features of an object.
Object responsibility to destroy itself when not in use .

Advantages of COM :
• Binary compatibility and cross-platform development
• Code-resuability
• Automatic Versioning (Version Control)

DCOM is Distributed Component Object Model. It is an extension of COM. It is a protocol that enables s/w components to directly communicate over a network in a reliable,secure and efficient manner. Some of the key features of DCOM are :

Location independence
Connection mgmt
Scalability
Performance
Security
Band-width and latency
Load balacing
Ease of deployment.
Protocol and Platform neutrality.

17. What is the difference between ActiveX and Java Beans ?
A. ActiveX and Java Beans are comparable the only difference which I perceive is that Java Beans are platform neutral and ActiveX controls are dependant on the Windows platforms.

18. What is Java’s future ?
A. Microsoft is working on Windows Foundation Classes which proposes to recode the Windows DLLs using Java . Microsoft proposes to enable Java applications to use the WFC and thus bind the Java language to the Windows platforms. This is being strongly contested by Sun .

Few Interview FAQ's

: COMMON Interview Questions ::
1. Tell me about yourself.
Keep your answer short and focused on your professional life. This is not the time to bring up relationships, childhood experiences, family etc. A brief history of education, career and special interests is what is called for here. End it with why you are interested in this particular job.

2. Why are you applying for this particular job?
Show interest and demonstrate that you have researched the job and know what you are getting into. Bring up evidence from past work/ studies that supports your interest in this role and any skills you have acquired in preparation for the role. You can say something like 'I would like to work for a leader in innovative network and telecommunications solutions and my college degree in computational mathematics has given me a solid background for this role. Mention the value-added you can bring to the job.

3. What do you know about our company?
Indicate what you have learnt from your research activities - from their annual reports,
newspapers, word of mouth, other employees etc. Use this to flatter them and show that you have done your homework.

4. What makes you qualified for this particular job?
Again, explain that you are very interested in the job and demonstrate what it is about your past experiences, education and qualifications that makes you ideal for the job. Show enthusiasm and support your answers with evidence wherever you can (e.g. my summer internship at Citibank gave me broad exposure to the area of equity analysis and I think I can apply many of the tools I learnt there in this job). Elaborate on all the past experiences and skill sets that make you suitable for the job. In cases where your past experience is not directly relevant, you can still find elements of it that can be useful. Play up team skills, computer skills, leadership roles, specific courses and independent research activities that can be useful to the job at hand to show your initiative even where you don't have directly relevant job experience.

5. What can you do for us that someone else can't?
Demonstrate key strengths, skills and personal characteristics.

6. Why should we hire you?
See 3. Because you have all the experience/ traits/ credentials demonstrated in 3 and in addition to being qualified, you are enthusiastic, intelligent, hardworking, flexible and willing to learn. Also mention any key relationships you may have that may assist you in the job.

7. What do you look for in a job?
Be honest. Also mention keywords such as challenging, steep learning curve, good work culture, demanding, rewarding, opportunities for advancement and growth, team environment, opportunity to build and maintain client relationships etc.

8. Why are you looking to make a career change?
Mention your interests and make sure you bring up all skills/ experience however insignificant that can support your move in this new direction. It is quite common in this day and age to make a career switch. You need however to show that you have very carefully thought about the change, have a strong interest in the new career and can use some of your previous skills/ education/ relationships to make that move.

9. Why did you leave your last job?
Do NOT use this as an opportunity to badmouth past employers or peers or talk about a failure of any sort. Any of these answers are acceptable: you were looking for a new challenge, your learning curve had flattened out in the previous job and you were looking for a new learning opportunity, the company or department were restructuring, you were ready to start something new after achieving your career goals at the previous company etc.

10. Why do you want to work for us (as opposed to the competitor companies)?
Demonstrate that you know something about the company, that you believe they are leaders/ innovators in what they do, or you think their work culture is exactly what you are looking for, or you like their product(s) or you have friends who work there and have always been attracted to the company etc. Flatter the company and show you know something about it.
11. How long will it take you to start making a meaningful contribution?
Show that you are enthusiastic and willing to learn and will put in all the hours and effort necessary to learn the ropes and start making an immediate contribution. Indicate that your past experiences/ skills/ credentials will enable you to make an immediate contribution at some level while you quickly learn all new aspects of the job. An Interviewer wants someone who is willing and able to learn and will make a return on his investment sooner rather than later.

12. What are your strengths?
See 14 below. In addition, keywords such as good teamplayer, work very well under pressure, very creative, very strong quantitative or computer skills, and very strong client relationship skills may be appropriate depending on your chosen field.

13. What are your weaknesses?
Do NOT mention key weaknesses here. This is not the place to say you are bad at meeting deadlines or you never mastered high school mathematics etc. Turn this question around to your benefit. For example, you are 'overambitious' or 'extremely attentive to detail' or 'like to take on too many projects'. Make it sound positive.

14. What are your career goals?
Show you have thought forward and are committed to your career.

15. How would you describe yourself?
Any of these are good examples of attributes employers are looking for: intelligent, hardworking, quick to learn, enthusiastic, honest, efficient, productive, ambitious, successful, compassionate (in the medical fields).

16. How would your colleagues describe you?
Do not bring up anything negative here.

17. How would your boss describe you?
They will check references anyways so bring up the most positive attribute you can think of about yourself e.g. hardworking, honest etc. and leave it to your Boss to say anything to the contrary.

18. What did you most like/ dislike about your past job?
Do not use this to badmouth past jobs/ employers. Keep it light and in your favour eg I outgrew the job, there wasn't a clear career progression, I wasn't learning anything new etc. Ideally, you will have loved your last job and would like to achieve the same kind of success and job satisfaction in a more challenging area as you have now 'outgrown' that job and are ready for 'new challenges'.

19. Describe a situation in your past where you showed initiative?
You could describe any new methods you came up with to do your job or to save money for the company or to turn around a bad situation. It can be something as simple as changing a filing system, or establishing a relationship with a vendor that saved your department a lot of money. If you are in sales, you may want to talk about how you brought in that big account. Creatives may talk about how they came up with that cutthroat image or design that brought in the business.

20. What were your main responsibilities in your last job?
Have these ready and list them all. Dwell on the ones that are most relevant to the new job. This answer should be smooth and practiced.

21. What do you consider your greatest accomplishments?
Many of us have one or two milestones in our career that we are very proud of e.g. that early promotion, that 'huge' deal we brought in, the design we came up with, the costs we saved, the revenues we increased, the people we trained, a new invention or process we came up with etc.
Examples of accomplishments may be: 'Reduced costs by X%; or renamed and repositioned a product at the end of its lifecycle, or organized and led a team to do do XYZ, or achieved sales increase of
X% etc. If you are a fresh college graduate, talk about extracurricular activities, leadership roles and grades.

22. Describe your management style (if relevant)
No answer

23. Do you work better in teams or independently?
Show that you are a proactive team player and like to bounce ideas off others and get input; however you are very capable of working independently (give examples).

24. How do you work under pressure?
Well. Give evidence.

25. What other jobs have you applied for?
Don't mention jobs in different career directions (e.g. advertising and investment banking). Do however bring up any other offers or Interviews from competing firms.

26. How did you do in college?
Keep it positive. It's okay to say you were very busy making the most of college and were very involved in sports, activities, social life etc. Employers want human beings not robots. Mention the areas you did very well in even if it was just one or two courses you excelled in. They will check for themselves.

27. What kind of hours would you like to work?
Employers want to see flexibility. Indicate you are willing to put in whatever hours are necessary to finish the job. Do however mention any constraints you have e.g. you would like to be home to pick your kids up from school at 3:30. Most employers are willing to work around your constraints if you show flexibility on your side as well.

28. Do you have any questions for me?
YES you do. Questions engage the Interviewer and show your interest. Ask questions that show you know something about the company or the job, that you are planning ahead, that you are anxious and willing to learn the ropes and that you are committed to the position.

Sony’s Latest Wireless Speakers with a 150 Foot Range

I’ll give you some speakers which, thank God, have not been developed with the renowned iPod in mind. This is, as a matter of fact, obvious, as the speakers are signed Sony and the company tried several times to destroy iPod’s supremacy. If you remember, earlier this summer, Sony Electronics gas rolled out a challenger for the iPod Nano and others versions of the Walkman series.

Moreover, this speaker system is compatible with a wide range of devices, really weird for a Sony product, as usually they are well-matched with other previously released Sony branded items and not with the ones of the challengers’. These speakers look nice, but they don’t feature such a great design for a Sony gadget. I would have expected more from them. On the other hand, they offer an enhanced wireless capability which lets you listen to your music within a 150 foot range of the base transmitter for a long time as they come with Ni-MH type rechargeable batteries. The manufacturer didn’t reveal the precise battery life.

Sony’s Wireless RF Speakers come with a low weight of only 146 g (without the transmitter), measuring 234 x 300 x 126 mm (also without the transmitter).

The magnetically shielded Sony Wireless RF Speakers also come with 900MHz wireless speaker system, manual tuning dial for an enhanced reception, two inputs for connecting both PC and portable audio player, one direct analog audio input on main body, a total output power of 2W, and a 57mm neodymiun magnet unit.

The Sony Wireless RF Speakers are available directly from the Sony Style online store for $99.

Classic Joke !!!

An 80-year old Italian man goes to the doctor for a check-up .


The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asks, "How do you stay in such great physical condition?"


I'm Italian and I am a golfer," says the old guy," and that's why I'm in such good shape." I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways." "Have a glass of vino, and all is well."



"Well," says the doctor, "I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your Dad when he died?"


" Who said my Dad's dead?"


The doctor is amazed. "You mean you're 80 years old and your Dad's still alive. How old is he?"



"He's 100 years old," says the old Italian golfer. "In fact he golfed with me this morning, and then we went to the topless beach for a walk, that's why he's still alive ... he's Italian and he's a golfer too."


"Well," the doctor says, "that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. How about your Dad's Dad? How old was he when he died?"


" Who said my grandpa's dead?"


Stunned, the doctor asks, "You mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living! Incredible, how old is he?"


"He's 118 years old," says the old Italian golfer. The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, "So, I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?"


"No. Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he's getting married today."


At this point the doctor is close to losing it. "Getting married!! Why would a 118 year-old guy want to get married?"


" Who said he wanted to?"

Thinking in Java
Bruce Eckel's renowned book - 'Thinking in Java'.
http://www.besteboo ksworld.com/ ebook/1175

Advanced Programming for the Java 2 Platform
As an experienced developer on the Java platform, you undoubtedly know how fast moving and comprehensive the platform is. Its many application programming interfaces (APIs) provide a wealth of functionality for all aspects of application and system-level programming. Real-world developers never use one or two APIs to solve a problem, but bring together key functionality spanning a number of APIs. Knowing which APIs you need, which parts of which APIs you need, and how the APIs work together to create the best solution can be a daunting task. To help you navigate the Java APIs and fast-track your project development time, this book includes the design, development, test, and deployment phases for an enterprise-worthy auction application. While the example application does not cover every possible programming scenario, it explores many common situations and the discussions leave you with a solid methodology for designing and building your own solutions. This book is for developers with more than a beginning level of understanding of writing programs in the Java programming language.

A Java GUI Programmer's Primer
This book contains an introduction to the systematic development of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) using the Java environment. It does not attempt to introduce the Java language and it is assumed that the reader has some familiarity with Object Oriented Development (OOD) and its practical expression in Java. Suitable resources to assist with obtaining this knowledge are given in Appendix A. However, a brief explanation of some aspects of Java will be presented where appropriate, particularly where the aspect differs significantly from C++.

Java Thin-Client Programming
This redbook focuses primarily on topics such as threading, from a Java thin client programming perspective. Also, because these applications are in a multi-user environment, security issues will be covered. The use of CORBA on the network-computing environment is also introduced. Java programming issues, such as object recycling and serialization, are necessary topics to consider when dealing with client/server applications. When an application is developed under the object-oriented paradigm, an introduction to simple concepts of model/view programming techniques will help the reader. Last, but not least, the basics techniques and tools required for profile applications are presented.

Mastering Enterprise Java Beans Second Edition
The bestselling book about 'the best thing since the Java language itself' is now completely revised and updated! Renowned authorities on Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), Ed Roman and his team deliver an indispensable developer's perspective on what is fast becoming the dominant technology for building server-side applications. This Second Edition covers not only the latest features of the major new release of the EJB specification, EJB 2.0, but also expands coverage to include more advanced programming tips and techniques and topics of interest to enterprise developers. Readers will learn everything they need to jumpstart their EJB development, from the basics of EJB architecture to developing transactional, scalable, and secure multiuser enterprise applications.
http://www.besteboo ksworld.com/ ebook/1181

Java Data Objects
The book is suitable for readers who already know the Java programming language, and wish to learn how to use JDO. No prior experience of JDBC, SQL, J2EE or XML is required. The focus throughout is on using JDO as the persistence layer in an application. A succinct introduction to J2EE is given before the finer details of JDO Integration with J2EE is explained. Naturally, readers with a strong J2EE background will be better placed to position JDO in their distributed architectures than those without.

J2EE and XML Development
J2EE and XML are important technologies in their own right, but applications that use them together benefit from their synergy. Java and J2EE make a powerful platform for building robust application logic. XML facilitates flexible data storage and manipulation. Developers who properly use XML with J2EE develop the most powerful enterprise systems that can be built today.
http://www.besteboo ksworld.com/ ebook/1184

EJB Design Patterns
The job of the EJB developer is constantly challenging, making the task of designing maintainable and scalable systems difficult without a clear set of best practices to follow. It is with this and other concerns in mind that Floyd Marinescu (Director of TheServerSide. com J2EE Community) worked with thousands of J2EE professionals on TheServerSide to put their collective knowledge together in order to build a library of design patterns, strategies, and best practices for EJB design and development.

Data Structures and Algorithms With Object-Oriented Design Patterns in Java
This book is about the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms-- the basic elements from which large and complex software artifacts are built. To develop a solid understanding of a data structure requires three things: First, you must learn how the information is arranged in the memory of the computer. Second, you must become familiar with the algorithms for manipulating the information contained in the data structure. And third, you must understand the performance characteristics of the data structure so that when called upon to select a suitable data structure for a particular application, you are able to make an appropriate decision.

Securing Java
We hope this book appeals to geeks and grandmothers alike (not that some grandmothers aren't geeks). Although it gets technical in places, we hope the messages are clear enough that even the casual Web user comes away with a broader understanding of the security issues surrounding mobile code. We kept four groups in mind as we wrote this book: Web users, developers, system administrators, and business decision-makers. Many of the issues of mobile code security cut across these groups. As Java integrates itself into the foundations of electronic commerce, Java security issues take on more urgency.

The Design Patterns Java Companion
The term “design patterns” sounds a bit formal to the uninitiated and can be somewhat off-putting when you first encounter it. But, in fact, design patterns are just convenient ways of reusing object-oriented code between projects and between programmers. The idea behind design patterns is simple-- write down and catalog common interactions between objects that programmers have frequently found useful.

Designing Enterprise Applicationswith the J2EETM Platform, Second Edition
Since its introduction more than two years ago, the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), has rapidly established a new model for developing distributed applications. This model is based on well-defined components that can automatically take advantage of sophisticated platform services. These components can be developed according to standard guidelines, combined into applications, deployed on a variety of compatible server products, and reused for maximum programmer productivity. This model is intended to both standardize and simplify the kind of distributed applications required for today's networked information economy. The success of the J2EE platform is in large part due to the success of this model.
