Entuware or Whizlabs? Which Exam Simulator Should you Buy for Java Certifications (OCAJP, OCPJP, and Others)?

I often receive queries from Java certification aspirants about exam simulators like whether should I go for Whizlabs or Enthuware, which one is better? If I have to buy just one exam simulator, which one would you recommend, Whizlabs or Enthuware? I thought to answer all those questions in a blog post and here you go. To be honest with you both of them are really high-quality test simulators and whichever you buy, you will do well on actual exams. But, as a programmer, I really like to analyze the situation, I compare pros and cons of each of them before I buy one of them. Since I have used both of them in the past I am sure about that in quality, they are neck to neck there, but here are couple of things which you can consider before buying Java certification simulator from Whizlabs or Enthuware

10 Free Websites to Learn Git Online for Beginners

I have worked with a lot of source control systems like SVN, CVS, TFS, VSS, Mercury and I had always wondered, why so many source control systems? why not just one. It's one of the mandatory software tools for development and everyone needs a version control and code repository, there should be a standard solution. It seems Git and Github has solved that problem now. Now, Git is everywhere from open source to closed source, from small startups to big Investment banks but there was still legacy projects which were lying on SVN and CVS, but they are now also started moving towards it. Until last year, I was working on at least one project on SVN but now that has also moved to Git. This shows the dominance of Git and that's why it becomes extremely important for both new and experienced programmer to learn Git and Github.

In today's world of massive scalability, where every single mobile app and web application needs to support billions of users (think of Youtube, WhatsApp, Uber), software application development and deployment have become increasingly complex.

Java 9 Example - Factory Methods for Collection - Creating Unmodifiable List, Set, and Map

Hello guys, this is my first article in Java 9 features on this blog and today you'll learn about my favorite feature "factory methods for collection", which is introduced as part of JEP 269. The JEP stands for JDK enhancement proposal. If you have worked in Groovy or Kotlin then you know that how easy is to create the list with elements using collection literals e.g. to create a list of 1, 2, 3 you can simply write val items = listOf(1, 2, 3). Unfortunately, Java doesn't support that yet but things have been improved with the factory methods for collection in JDK 9 and it's almost like that. JDK has added static factory methods like of() on to basic Collection interfaces which you can use to create a list of items.
