The Android Developer's Cookbook

The Android Developer's Cookbook

The Android operating system (OS) has come a long way since the announcement of

the Open Handset Alliance in late 2007.The idea of an open source OS for embedded

systems was not new, but Google aggressively backing it definitely has helped push

Android to the forefront in just a few years.

Many wireless carriers in multiple countries across various communication protocols have one or more Android phones available. Other embedded devices, such as tablets, netbooks, televisions, set-top boxes, and even auto mobiles, have also adopted the Android OS. This chapter discusses various general aspects of Android useful for a developer. It provides a foundation for the creation of Android applications and a context for the recipes in the rest of this book.

Sample Interview Question Book

Sample Interview Question Book

When we look back at times of COBOL, PASCAL features provided by these languages

where minimal. More emphasis was on completing projects than on quality of code. As

features provided by languages where less, programmer had to code everything from

scratch. For example to write a simple sorting logic you have to write your own sorting

algorithm. As languages grew and started becoming mature, these logic where in-built feature of language.As feature list of languages started growing programmer’s became

feature specialist rather than specialist of whole language.

If a developer who is working for past two to three years on remoting is a remotingspecialist, but probably in ADO.NET he has minimal knowledge. Now after working day & night and becoming specialist he is looking for a job. But the bad part of IT industry today is that they do not look for specialist rather they look for developers who have fair knowledge of over all feature of the language. 

This remoting specialist stumbles with simple ADO.NET and SQL questions during interview. But guys that’s ok when you are working and concentrating on one particular aspect it’s but obvious that you will forget these fundamentals.

Software clients no more look source code as the only one deliverable, but even other

documents like SRS (System Requirement documents), SDD (System Design Documents),

Test Plans (SITP and UTP) etc. as a integral part of project. IT multinationals are now

looking from both technical and process aspect of the project. So going with pure .NET

technical fundamentals will only take you to a programmer position, but know how of

documenting project, UML understanding, SDLC cycle etc will take you to a better position

(Project Manager, Program Manager, Senior architect etc).

15 Toughest Interview Questions and Answers

15 Toughest Interview Questions and Answer

1. Why do you want to work in this industry?

Bad answer:

“I love to shop. Even as a kid, I spent hours flipping through catalogues.”

Don’t just say you like it. Anyone can do that. Focus instead on your history with that

particular industry, and if you can, tell a success story.

Good answer:

“I've always loved shopping, but my interest in retail marketing really started when I worked at a neighbourhood boutique. I knew our clothes were amazing, but that we weren't marketing them properly. So I worked with management to come up with a marketing strategy that increased our sales by 25% in a year. It was great to be able to contribute positively to an industry I feel so passionate about, and to help promote a product I really believed in.”
