Deep-dive resources focused on programming languages, algorithms, and low-level computing concepts:
- DSA: Data Structures and Algorithms patterns, leetcode-style problems, and runtime analysis.
- Java: Core Java features, memory management, garbage collection, and language quirks.
- Python: Python scripting, object-oriented concepts, and performance tuning.
- JavaScript & React: Frontend architecture, asynchronous behavior, hooks, and state management.
- Operating System: Process synchronization, CPU scheduling, memory management, and threads.
- Networking: OSI model, TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS protocols, DNS, and load balancing.
- Linux: Essential bash scripting commands, file permissions, and environment setup.
Comprehensive material covering enterprise application development, concurrency, and web services:
- Spring Boot: Enterprise Java architecture, Dependency Injection, and beans.
- Spring Batch: Large-scale, high-throughput batch processing mechanics.
- SpringBoot AOP: Aspect-Oriented Programming for handling cross-cutting concerns.
- SpringBoot Actuator: Production-ready monitoring, metrics, and health audits.
- JPA / Hibernate: Object-Relational Mapping (ORM), lazy/eager loading, and query optimization.
- Executors & Multithreading: Thread pools, concurrency primitives, and race conditions.
- Restful Webservice: API contract design, idempotency, and status code best practices.
- Java Design Patterns: Creational, structural, and behavioral OOP patterns.
- Exceptions: Robust error and exception handling architectures.
Architecting highly available, scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems:
- System Design: Scalability frameworks, microservices, rate limiting, and caching strategy blueprints.
- Cache: Eviction policies (LRU, LFU), distributed caching systems (Redis, Memcached), and cache patterns.
- Database: SQL vs NoSQL, indexing strategies, ACID properties, and database sharding.
- Kafka: Event streaming pipelines, pub/sub mechanics, partitions, and message guarantees.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous delivery pipelines, and container orchestration workflows:
- AWS: Core cloud services (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM) and cloud architecture patterns.
- Docker: Containerization basics, writing Dockerfiles, and multi-stage builds.
- Kubernetes: Pods, deployments, services, ingress controllers, and cluster scaling.
- DevOps Tools: General tooling, configuration management, and automation frameworks.
- Jenkins: CI/CD automation, pipeline-as-code scripts, and continuous integration flows.
- Terraform: Declarative Infrastructure as Code for multi-cloud deployments.
Cracking the interview beyond the raw technical code syntax:
- Approach Question: Step-by-step framework to clarify, white-board, and debug during live coding tests.
- Managerial Questions: STAR method implementation, leadership principles, and behavioral answers.
- Important Questions: Frequently asked high-yield technical and logical questions.
- Code Review: Guidelines for writing clean, readable, and maintainable software.
- Global Job Opportunities: International job hunting strategies, resume tips, and platform links.
- Start-up Books: Recommended reading materials on startup scaling, engineering management, and products.
