Top 18 Tools For Java Developers:




  1. Gradle: Build tool. Automates the building, testing, publishing, deployment, and more of software as well as generating static websites or documentation.
  2. Eclipse: Open-source integrated development environment (IDE). If you could have just one tool for Java development, Eclipse would be a good choice.
  3. IntelliJ: IDE made by JetBrains, available in an Apache 2-licensed community edition and a commercial edition. IntelliJ provides similar features to Eclipse, with a smooth, developer-friendly experience.
  4. YourKit: Java profiler. Combines powerful analysis capabilities, on-demand profiling during both development and production, free embedding into production, and seamless IDE and application server integration.
  5. Clover: Code coverage tool from Atlassian. Runs in your IDE or continuous integration system, and includes test optimization to make tests run faster and fail sooner.
  6. Mockito: Mock library. Open-source testing framework that enables the creation, verification, and stubbing of mocks.
  7. Jetty: Lightweight, embeddable app server.
  8. Hibernate: Object-relational mapper. Implements the Java persistence API.
  9. VisualVM: JVM monitor. An all-in-one Java troubleshooting tool that comes with the JDK.
  10. JUnit: Unit test framework. Core tool of test-driven development that enables repeatable, white-box testing.
  11. Jenkins: Continuous integration tool. Customizable with more than 600 plugins.
  12. Spring Boot: Spring application development system. Works in your build system. Supports Gradle and Maven.
  13. Guice: Lightweight dependency injection/inversion of Control (IoC) framework, from Google.
  14. Guava: Utility library. Contains core libraries that Google relies on in Java-based projects: collections, caching, primitives support, concurrency libraries, common annotations, string processing, I/O, and so forth.
  15. FindBugs: Static code analyzer. Classifies potential errors in code as scariest, scary, troubling, or “of concern.” Available as a standalone GUI or as a plugin for Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ, Gradle, Hudson, and Jenkins.
  16. Jackson: JSON parser. Aims to be fast, correct, lightweight, and ergonomic for developers.
  17. Snappy:Compression/decompression library from Google Code. A great resource when speed is a requirement.
  18. JD-GUI: Decompiler. Standalone graphic utility that displays source codes of “.class” files. Free for non-commercial use (i.e., can’t be included or embedded in commercial products).
10 things the developer should invest in 2015:
1. Know a native mobile platform.
2. Know a basic agile development process and toolset.
3. Know how to do effective estimations.
4. Know JavaScript.
5. Know a server side language.
6. Know basic HTML and CSS.
7. Know how to quickly find information.
8. Know how to maintain a project over time.

DATA TYPES & LITERALS DATA TYPES: Every variable in java should have some type. Every expression should have some type and every type is strictly defined. Every Assignment should be checked by the compiler for type compatibility Hence java language is considered as strongly typed programming language Java is a not pure object oriented programming language. Because several OOPs features not supported by java. Like multiple inheritances, operator overloading, etc. Moreover we are using primitive datatypes in java which are not objects Primitive Data types:                                                                  Primitive Datatypes (8) Numeric Datatypes                  character datatype                                      Boolean datatype (To represent number)          (To represent character)                               (To represent Boolean values) Integral Datatypes    Floating Point Datatypes    Byte                               float Sho

Database Definition and DBMS

Image
Database is a collection of information organized in such a way that a computer program can quickly select desired peices of data.  You can think of database as an electronic filing system. Traditional databases are organized by fields, records and files. an alternative concept in database desing is known as Hypertest . In a Hypertext database any object, whether it be a piece of text, a picture, or a film can be linked to any other object. To access information from the system you need DBMS(database management system) . This is a collection of programs that enables you to  store, modify and extract information from a database. database is used as shorthand for DBMS, there are many different types of DBMSs, ranging from small systems that run on personal computers to huge systems that run on mainframes. few database applications: computerized library systesm, Automated teller machines, flight reservation systems,computerized parts inventory systems. DBMSs can

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING The term is made of two words software and engineering. Software is more than just a program code. Software is considered to be a collection of executable programming code, associated libraries and documents. Software when made for specific requirement is called software product. Engineering on other hand , is all about developing products, using well defined , scientific principles and methods. Software engineering  is an engineering branch associated with development of software product using well-defined scientific principles, methods and procedures. The outcome of software engineering is an efficient and reliable software product. Software Evaluation is the process of developing a software product using software engineering principles and methods. Software Evaluation LAWS: Lehman devided software into 3 categories. 1.s-type : static type    works strictly according to defined specifications and solutions.Ex : calculator program 2.p-type
