Java Algorithms Interview Challenger
Java Algorithms Interview Challenger
Ace Java Interviews by Mastering Fundamentals of Data Structures and Algorithms
About the Book
To pass interviews, we must know data structures and algorithms. Nowadays, most companies repeat the same tests.
There is tons of content on the internet about the subject, but not specifically with Java. That's the difference with the Java Interview Challenger book: you will learn those fundamentals with your beloved language, Java! You will also understand some nuances from the JDK code and will expand your knowledge about Java so you can create clean and performance-optimized code.
By mastering data structures, algorithms, and systems design, you will undoubtedly become a much better software engineer capable of designing complex systems independently. So, the benefit is not only passing in interviews but becoming an extraordinary software engineer able to create complex Microservices to solve a big problem.
This book will teach you about data structures, sorting algorithms, programming techniques, several cloud technologies, and more!
I am also sharing the interview styles of the market so that you know exactly what the game is during the interview and prepare accordingly.
My sincere recommendation is not to postpone mastering such vital concepts. Start now by getting the Java Interview Challenger book and taking your skills to another level!
