JAVA developers create dynamic applications and web interfaces. While some of them may be designing interfaces, some are completely involved in behind-the-scene work. A developer's job is involved in almost all stages of engineering: be it soliciting requirements, prototype design or product configuration.

For a Java developer, having strong understanding on Object Oriented Programming is a must. Without having a strong foundation on OOPS, one can't realize the beauty of an Object Oriented Programming language like Java. If you don't have good idea on what OOPS is, even though you are using OOP language you may be still coding in procedural way. Just studying OO principle definitions won't help much. We should know how to apply those OO principles in designing a solution in OO way. So one should have a strong knowledge on Object modelling, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Design Patterns.

Helpful Trivia

Good JAVA developers are always in demand not only in the IT industry but all industries that rely on high end technology. The industry looks for JAVA developers who can not only think of the right algorithm for a problem, but also figure out efficient solutions for a problem and write code that is scalable and maintainable. Most current solutions simply find the percent of test cases a program gets right, and not grade based on the thought process of the candidate or quality parameters of a code, as an expert interviewer would have. Automata is a path breaking solution to find the most appropriate programmer for a position. Here the candidate is provided with a couple of programming problems, for which s/he writes the solution in a simulated compiler integrated environment. The candidate can compile and execute his/her code to find how it is performing on test cases.
