Earlier, I have shared the best Spring Courses and best Spring Boot courses, and today, I will share the best online course to learn Reactive Programming with Spring Boot and Web Flux. In recent times, Reactive programming has become very popular. It is a programming paradigm that focuses on an asynchronous, event-driven, non-blocking approach for processing data which paves for writing a next-generation scalable web application in Java.  This means a thorough knowledge of reactive programming is a must for creating scalable web applications, and that's why Java developers need to learn reactive programming.

Top 10 Courses to Learn Spring Boot in 2024 for Java Developers - Best of Lot

Hello guys, if you are interested in learning Spring Boot and looking for some excellent resources, e.g. books, tutorials, and online courses to start with, then you have come to the right place. Earlier I have shared some great books to learn Spring Framework, including Spring Boot (see), and today, I'll share some of the best online Spring Boot courses you can join to learn Spring Boot by yourself. In the past, I was a big fan of learning from a book, but online courses have changed that completely. Now I prefer to start with an online course, like Spring Boot 3, Spring 6 & Hibernate for Beginners, and then move on to a book like Spring Boot in Action for more comprehensive learning. Anyway, before going through those Spring Boot courses, let's first revise what Spring Boot is, and its benefits, and why you should learn it.

How to Compare Date in SQL Server Query? Finding All Rows Between Two Dates

It's tricky to use dates in the SQL server query, especially if you don't have good knowledge of how DateTime type works in the SQL server. For example, one of the frequently asked SQL queries on the interview is to "select all rows where the date is 20151007?" How would you do that? Does the following SQL Query will work correctly

select * from table where date = '20151007'

It may or may not, it entirely depends on upon data in your table. When you only provide date part of a DateTime variable, it uses '00:00:00.000' for the time part.

Top 50 Java Programs from Coding Interviews

Coding is an integral part of any programming job interviews, and Java development interviews are no exception. I would even suggest you should never hire anyone without testing their coding skill, coding is also an art, and more often than a good code is an excellent developer as well. If you look at tech giants like Amazon, Facebook, and Google they thoroughly test the coding skill of any developer they hire, notably Amazon who first send online coding exercises to filter Java programmers who can code. This online test usually gives you requirements and ask you to write a program in a limited time, usually 2 to 3 hours. The application should meet the output provided by the exercise itself. These type of tasks are very tough to crack if you don't have excellent coding skill.

What is N+1 SELECT Problem in Hibernate? Strategies to avoid this?

In some cases while using Hibernate for object-relational mapping, you will encounter the N+ 1 select problem. That is, Hibernate will execute (n+1) queries to populate a list of records of size n, I mean 5 SELECT queries will be required to populate 4 records. This happens when each object contains reference of another object which needs to be populated. For example, suppose you have list of authors and you want to print out title of books written by each other. A naive ORM will first do a SELECT query to load all authors and then execute another N SELECT query to load book for each author. That's your N + 1 SELECT problem because it involves N+1 database roundtrips'. There are some mechanisms suggested by Hibernate that can be used to mitigate this risk e.g. EAGER fetching mode.

Top 22 Apache Tomcat Interview Questions Answers for Java JEE Developers

The Apache Tomcat is one of the most popular web server used to deploy Java web application comprising HTML, JavaScript, Servlet and JSP. If you have ever worked in a Java web application you might have found yourself using Tomcat everywhere, from test environment to production. It is the defacto standard for deploying Java Web applications without EJB because using application server like WebSphere or WebLogic is both costly and superfluous for such web application. As a Java developer, working in Java and Spring based web applications, you should know some basic and advanced detail of Tomcat server to efficiently support your Java web app and troubleshoot any issue arising on request processing. 

Top 10 HTTP Status Code Every RESTful web Service Developer Should know

A good knowledge of HTTP protocol is must for a RESTful Web Service developer because REST uses HTTP principles and a good portion of its popularity is due to HTTP itself. One of the important part of HTTP is the status code, which gives useful information related to client request. They are also known as HTTP response code because they are sent in header on HTTP response by Server to indicate what happened with client's request. The status codes ranges from 100 to 500 but not all of them are valid and useful. Instead the first number e.g. 1xx or 2xxx denotes the class of status codes. 

10 Example of Gson in Java - JSON tutorial

The Gson library is a gift from Google to Java developers. It provides the simplest but powerful mechanism to deal with JSON documents in Java. By using Gson library, you can parse JSON String to generate Java objects, serialize a Java object to create a JSON document. You can even pretty print JSON String by setting some option to the Gson class, which is the main helper class to interact with Gson library. It also provides mechanism to deal with nulls e.g. you can include null on JSON String or you can omit them. By default Gson print JSON in compact format where null fields are not exported to JSON document but null within array and list are exported. 

Difference between Servlet and Filter in Java

Servlet and Filter are two of the essential concepts defined in Servlet specification. They are core of any web application because most of the request will pass through them. This is why they are also very popular on Java Web developer interviews. What is the difference between a Servlet and a Filter is one of the most common and interesting interview question related to Servlet. If you can explain the difference clearly, you improve your chance of hiring a lot. In order to understand and explain the difference, you must understand what is the purpose of Servlet and Filter, How they work and how they are used in various web applications. 

Top 27 Gson Interview Questions with Answers for Java Developers

Hello guys, parsing and creating JSON is a very common task in any Java application, particularly spring based application and that's why its important for a Java developer to not just understand the JSON format but also to be familiar with the important JSON parsing libraries in Java like Gson and Jackson. It's not just important for your day to day Java development work but also for interviews as there is a increased focus on checking if candidate is familiar with key JSON libraries like Jackson or Gson or not. Since I shared Java interview questions on core Java topics like concurrency, abstract class, static, and final modifier, a lot of my reader asked me to share JSON related interview questions as well. 

Difference between known_hosts and authorized_keys file in SSH - Linux

If you have used SSH to login into remote host in Linux, you might have come across these two files stored under the .ssh directory in your home directory e.g. ~/.ssh. Both files are used in the login process for authentication, but the main difference between known_hosts and authorized_keys files are that, known_host is used for server authentication, while authorized_keys are used for client or user authentication. SSH allows login using both password and private keys, you might have heard about trusted SSH connection between two host to download files without entering password, this is achieved using public and private keys. 

2 ways to Split String with Dot (.) in Java using Regular Expression? Examples

You can use the split() method of java.lang.String class to split a string based on the dot. Unlike comma, colon, or whitespace, a dot is not a common delimiter to join String, and that's why beginner often struggles to split a String by dot. One more reason for this struggle is the dot being a special character in the regular expression. If you want to split String on the dot you need to escape dot as \\. instead of just passing "." to the split() method. Alternatively, you can also use the regular expression [.] to split the String by a dot in Java. The dot is mostly used to get the file extension as shown in our example.
