Top 5 RESTful Web Services with Spring and Java Courses for Experienced Developers

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.
