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), Dependency Injection Dl (aka IoC - Inversion of Control) 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 key areas, 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 categorized 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 key areas 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 key areas" or "Java/J2EE Job Interview Companion". The reason I chose "Java/J2EE Job Interview Companion" is because the core concepts and key areas discussed in this book helped me to be successful in my interviews, helped me to survive and succeed at my work regardless what my job (junior developer, senior developer, technical lead, designer, contractor etc) was and also gave me thumbs up in code reviews. This book also has been set out as a handy reference guide and a roadmap for building enterprise Java applications.

Customer Rating:
Summary: A good overview of Java functionalities
Comment: This should prepare you just fine for an oral Java review. It's not as detailed for an online Java examination, though. For that use this book as an overview, and then other books to drill down in more detail in other areas.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book. Helped immediatly in interview
Comment: Very good book for preperation for interview. Well organized, at least IMHO and it helped me as soon as interview began. I could not have done well without it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: one of the best books to buy about j2ee
Comment: This book is very satisfactory if you want to increase your knowledege about java and j2ee. It has lots of short but very satisfactory and understandable answers to key java and j2ee questions. It is one of the best reference books I have ever examined about java.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Lots of info, but weak presentation
Comment: Overall, I give this book a medium rating. There is a lot of information about J2EE and related technologies, which is good to help give you a quick understanding of technologies if you don't have any experience with them. The presentation is very weak and this book could be much better with a proper job of editing.
Pros: lots of good information, presented in a concise manner, lots of brief code examples
Cons: poorly written, many points are repeated multiple times, the grammar is sometimes difficult to understand
Customer Rating:
Summary: Does what it says on the tin
Comment: I'm finding this a good book preparing for interviews after over a year out traveling, a slightly scary prospect. It's great to find so much subject matter (and most of it very relevant) in one place, but I'm only giving it 3 stars due to some really poor editing. Not something I normally worry about unduly, but I have a breaking point. Some of the examples are lifted more or less straight off other websites...
