Gruelling cum interesting.

Hello People. Here goes yetAnother .

Today i didn't have anything to do. So started my day with casual glimpsing of the rediff.com. Then turned my attention towards techie stuff and suddenly jumped into the ocean of java and sat almost deeply engrossed going through some interesting stuff. Gosh! How did i become pedantic today, much after the long lost years!!!!!

At about 3 pm post lunch, i got a call from my friend's boss for a position in his startup based firm. To exaggerate more about the company, it dealt with web-based business like designing algorithms similar in kind to that of google AdSense, pagerank etc. At first i took it easym but later on learnt that i was kind of tormented by the bullets of questions that kept hitting me. But anyways managed to hold my nerves and guess in my opinion had given a decent response to the various questions fired. Some of the questions i could recollect and like to share are the ones below...Enjoy.

• Life cycle of an application in an application server
  
• About the project.
  
• How is the MVC pattern achieved in Struts Framework
  
• what acts as the Model, view , controller in struts?
  
• What is the use of jvm?
  
• What's so great about connection pooling?
  
• what are sessions?
  
• Can you share session across applications?
  
• Diff. bet abstract class and interface?
  
• Can you overload a method based on return types?
  
• Abstract factories
  
• Generics
  
• Proxy server?
  
• Strings and String buffer
  
• Result set
  
• Diff between statement and preparedstatement
  
• LinkedHashMap - Doubly linked list where elements are ordered in the order in which they are last accessed.
  
• Singleton class
  
• can variables be synchronized?
  
  

Guess this is enough for the day right!!! Ha ha ..Signing off till yetAnother

Train of Friendship!

Here i am back with full of zest overcoming the staunchy feelings of letharginess, into the world of blogging.

Just like 100s of people who constitute the majority of the floating population during the weekends from Bangalore (So called the IT Hub) en-route their respective home towns, i was no way different from the rest. To tell you more, i had actually made more friends by way of this short 5 1/2 hr journey compared to that made out of schooling, colleging etc. The Common thing i noticed about almost 90% of them are that they all belong to the same elite community of Bangalore Cribbers . They find solace in getting out of this city, it's traffic, pollution etc even it means for 2 days.

Almost every time i travel, i get to make friends who will happen to be my friend's friend either by way of school or college. Now i am wondering if my mobile phone book's memory will ever be sufficient to sustain the rings of friendship that keeps expanding.
