New Version of Mock Exam

The new version of my mock exam for the Java Programmer Certification is available at the URL that appears at the end of this post. The new version has a set of two Basic Exams and also a set of 144 questions distributed across ten topic specific exams and alternatively organized as a set of eight comprehensive exams.
This new version has 43 new questions relative to the old version. Most of the new questions are concentrated in three new topics: Constructors, Strings, and StringBuffers. The three new topics can be found on the Topic Exam page or you can find all 43 questions organized as a set of two exams on the New Questions page.
My exams are very difficult. First time visitors are encouraged to start with the set of two Basic Exams. Try the Topic Exams next and use them as you work through your study guide chapter-by-chapter. For example, if you complete a chapter that covers inheritance, then try the Inheritance exam. The Comprehensive Exams should be saved for last. Those that have already completed my exams should try the New Questions page.
The answer pages contain explanations for the answers and links to reference materials such as the Java Language Specification and a link back to this message board.
My home page contains a set of exams organized by date. Always use the latest version since the older versions may be deleted without notice.

I have a question for those on this message board that are certified java programmers. Do you feel that studying for the exam was a valuable learning experience? Can you give an example of something interesting that you learned while studying for your certification?

  • [CS3,JS] [ANN] Major new version of JS Help as HTML

    I found compelling reasons to re-design my Help-to-HTML pages, and, while you are
    downloading the ZIP, why not read this:
    * It's Bigger! Or, rather,
    i smaller
    -- by putting display stuff into CSS (which you can edit locally if you don't like the view). The ZIP file is just 1,9MB, but contains more than 760 pages of Useful Stuff (and one page that isn't as useful).
    * It's Better! See the oh-so-important Hierarchy list, that attempts to show parent-child relations on the main classes. Be amazed as you discover formerly-unthought-of relationships between the objects.
    * It's Faster! Now with even
    i more
    links than before, including all class functions at the top for immediate browsing. Many items that listed 'any' as returnable objects are now expanded into hyperlinked lists.
    * It's More Colourful! The spurious use of the colour purple is guaranteed to make even Prince consider a come-back!
    * It's Free! Free of charge, free of advertising. Free for all to read and use (but
    i not
    to
    i abuse
    -- I reserve the right to mock any impersonators and plain copiers).
    * It has a Dedicated Windows version! Fellow script aficini.. enthousiast ABC GREEN converted this new version to a handy (and even smaller)
    Windows CHM version, which is even better searchable using Window HTML Help!
    What more can you ask? A plain text version, to enjoy in the privacy of your own plain text editor? An Adobe Text-Tagged version, to import into your desired lay-out, and to print it out and bind as a real book? Well, that's both possible, and I have done some ground work already on these. All suggestions are welcome.
    [Post-edit: I have created similar versions for Br,Ai,Ps,Js itself and ScriptUI. Perhaps I can make a Suite out of 'em. They aren't as spiff and complete as the Id version, though.]

    I already did versions for the other programs of the CS3 suite -- but that documentation is nowhere near as complete as that of ID, so it doesn't look as impressive. But yeah well, I mite as well put it onto my website. I'll package it, probably somewhere this weekend. Don't expect too much of it.
    As for the CS4 reference ... I'd love to get my sweaty hands onto a CS4 (awaiting the boss to make up his mind about an upgrade), or just the xml file with the necessary info. Anyone got a spare copy of omv$indesign-6.0-en_us.xml he's not using at the moment? ;-)

  • Any idea when new version of e90 is coming

    Any idea when new version of e90 is coming which will emanate all previus problems.

    Available in Germany..?
    It is not even available to Nokia staff in Finland ..yet.
    I assume that you base this statement on the links to a German web site on All About Symbian.
    This was to a German message board ..like this one but run by Non Nokia people...it showed some photographs of what was claimed to be the "new E90"..
    But the text (which was in German) said that it was a mock up based on what had been seen on a Nokia stand at a World Mobile phone conference in I believe Barcelona.
    Photos taken of the real unit on the Nokia stand showed a black E90 with flush key pad, and with apparently new firmware, this was shown by one screen shot.
    The links seem to have disappeared.
    Nokia were reported to have said at Barcelona that the unit "should be" available by end 1st Q.
    My contact with Nokia confirms that this is "hopefully" the case.
    On the Nokia forum for designers..Nokia have instigated a drive to motivate more 3rd party SW houses to "think E90 and it's large display". So Nokia have decided to re-launch the E90.
    But all this does nothing to please those of us who have already bought E90. There is no way Nokia are going to replace the cases of all E90s already in the field.

  • New Version Conversion Board

    Hello Forum users,
    After recent feedback and conversations, we've decided it's time to dedicate a specific board for LabVIEW Version Conversion (replacing the existing Upconvert and Downconvert threads).
    Please remember this is not a space for code discussion. This is just a space for you to post the VIs you need to be converted to an older or newer version of LabVIEW. If an issue arises where you need further assistance after the conversion has been completed (for instance, if you need the converted VI to be removed from the forums) please select "Report to a Moderator" and I will be happy help.
    Enjoy the new, more organized Version Conversion board!

    I saw at the top of the Idea Exchange that the setting to force the search was turned on for new ideas.  Maybe the setting got turned on for the Version Conversion board by mistake.
    That appears to be what happened.  I just mocked putting up a new idea and there was no search done before getting to type up my (non existant) idea.
    But I was thinking about this while shaving this morning (I don't know why, random thoughts constantly bombard my mind).  It would be nice for the Version Conversion board to have a different format for creating a new request.  First of all, the button should be something like "New Conversion Request" instead of "New Message".  But then that button should take you to a new page that has 2 drop downs (for LabVIEW Version From and LabVIEW Version To) and a place for attaching code.  Put in notes that the file limit is 3 files and X MB and advise zipping up the code and posting the zip file.  MAKE THE ATTACHED FILE REQUIRED.  I guess there should probably be another field (optional) for general comments.  So then this new page can autogenerate a topic name based on the two drop downs.  We will get consistant topic names so we know exactly what needs done and it will be much easier for a new user of the board.
    There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

  • Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

    For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
    Please help.

    It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.

  • I have the latest version of Pages installed, yet there are documents I try to open and the message "you need a newer version of Pages to open this document".  Help?

    When I try to open some of my documents, the message "you need a newer version of Pages" appears; yet, I have installed the latest/newest version. How do I clear this up? Thanks.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • 7.1.3 will not install, Says I have a "Newer Version", but none installed!

    Okay,
    As I'm sure most people have noticed,the new build of iTunes is not running smoothly. I've tried to install the updated build but it wouldn't work. It installed iTunes and the New Quicktime. It failed to open. So I do what apple tells me to: Try re-installing it.
    But after uninstalling both to try and reinstall, iTunes won't install quicktime anymore. And when I try to use the standalone Quicktime installer, it tells me that I cannot install because I have a newer version than 7.1.3 on my computer!And when I install iTunes (without it installing quicktime, on it's own mind you)and then open it, it says I must have Quicktime installed to use it. Even my Quickitme plugins for my internet don't work!
    I know this is impossible. And I've tried to rectify it every way I know how. Delete the remaining files in Windows and Program Files, use the Windows Installer Clean Up tool, try re-installing in safe mode, BUT NOTHING WORKS! I'd really like to use the new iTunes but I can't do anything with it untill I fix the quicktime problem.
    If anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated. Thank you.
    ~JYH

    Rob,
    There is no quicktime folder there. And no quicktime program is installed when I try to install iTunes. The only reason I tried installing quicktime in standalone was because the itunes install was not actively going to the quicktime part of its installation.
    I've tried removing everything and only installing iTunes. But even after deleting the physical files, using the WIndows Install cleanup tool, and cleaning up my registry, the quicktime portion of the iTunes install doesn't complete, and I keep getting "unknown" errors from the crash prevention program, and from what I can see it's because there's no physical Quicktime program installed.
    As for other accounts, no I cannot start it up with other accounts, I keep getting the "Unknown" error and there is no physical files for quicktime anywhere.
    And selective startup doesn't seem to work as there is NO qttask option when I run selective startup.
    So, I seem to be out of options, and thing else I could try?
    ~Jay

  • How can I get an older iTunes U account enrolled in newer version of iTunes U?

    My institution originally signed up for iTunes U in 2010, but due to various reasons, we never went live with our site.  We are now ready to proceed, but we need to get enrolled in the newer version of iTunes U.  I was directed to go to https://eduapp.apple.com and send a note saying that we wanted our older, private account enrolled in the newer version, but for whatever reason, I cannot log in, despite trying multiple computers and browers.  I know my Apple ID and password are correct, as I just logged into this site with them.  Is there anyone on here who can help me?  The institution is Aiken Technical College.

How do I open this and get my music back.
    I put my Ipod in and it still says the same thing, what's going on? Please help me!

    I don't know whom to thank first-- b noir for telling me about the Lorraine fix or Lorraine for figuring out the fix. THE LORRAINE FIX WORKED FOR ME!!! (I feel a little like I am advertising "Hooked on Phonics" with that last line!)
    Thank you doesn't say it strongly enough, but THANK YOU b noir and Lorraine for your help. I was to the boiling point last night and starting to get there tonight. Now I am resting easy and thankful that there is a community of computer users out there who care enough to troubleshoot problems together and work together to figure out a solution--and then to take the time to post and share information.
    I would STRONGLY suggest that anyone who is having the iTunes issues where iTunes just plain won't open at all after downloading the newest version and has a pc with Norton Internet Security 2005 try the "Lorraine Method."
    I am so happy I think I might sing. Or not--I will let my songs on iTunes do the singing for me now that I can again!!!!!!!
    And to those still looking for answers--be patient--I now know how incredibly frustrating this can be and I hope that you all find your solutions very very soon!!

    Can anyone help me with this problem.  I tried updating the latest itunes and it caused an error MSVCR80.dll missing.  I then tried fixing it after reading other people had the same problem and a solution was given about uninstaling itunes and the order in which to do that.  I did that but now get the error "the  files "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of itunes.  I see a solution has been given about this but I cannot find what is suggested to enable me to follow instructions.  Can anyone please go through step by step (letting  me know where I can find what is needed) to enable me to be able tio log into itues again.  Thanks

    Hi pussygalore,
    If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may find the following article helpful:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    You may want to make sure that in the last step (reinstalling iTunes) that you are installing the latest/newest available version, and not attempting a reinstall from an older file.
