Cracking Java Interview is not easy and one of the main reasons for that is Java is very vast. There are a lot of concepts and APIs to master to become a decent Java developer. Many people who are good at general topics like Data Structure and Algorithms, System Design, SQL, and Database fail to crack the Java interview because they don't spend time to learn the Core Java concepts and essential APIs and packages like Java Collection Framework, Multithreading, JVM Internals, JDBC, Design Patterns, and Object-Oriented Programming. This book aims to fill that gap and introduce you to classical Java interview questions from these topics. By going through these questiosn and topic you will not only expand your knowledge but also get ready for your Next Java interview. If you are preparing for Java interviews then I highly recommend you to go through these questions befor your telephonic or face-to-face interviews, you will not only gain confidence and knowelge to answer the question but also learn how to drive Java interview in your favor. This is the single most important tip I can give you as a Java developer. Always, remember, your answers drive interviews, and these questions will show you how to drive Interviewer to your strong areas.

This book (also available online at www.designgurus.org) by Design Gurus has helped 60k+ readers to crack their system design interview (SDI). System design questions have become a standard part of the software engineering interview process. These interviews determine your ability to work with complex systems and the position and salary you will be offered by the interviewing company. Unfortunately, SDI is difficult for most engineers, partly because they lack experience developing large-scale systems and partly because SDIs are unstructured in nature. Even engineers who've some experience building such systems aren't comfortable with these interviews, mainly due to the open-ended nature of design problems that don't have a standard answer. This book is a comprehensive guide to master SDIs. It was created by hiring managers who have worked for Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon. The book contains a carefully chosen set of questions that have been repeatedly asked at top companies. What's inside? This book is divided into two parts. The first part includes a step-by-step guide on how to answer a system design question in an interview, followed by famous system design case studies. The second part of the book includes a glossary of system design concepts. Table of Contents First Part: System Design Interviews: A step-by-step guide.
