E-book Category: Programming E-book Title: Advanced Java Quizzes Author: David Clark Book Description: This book follows on from "A Java Quiz book". The questions in it are advanced in two different but complementary ways. Firstly it requires different skills to answer questions. Whereas most quizzes (including "A Java Quiz book") test knowledge and comprehension, the questions in this book require analysis and evaluation. These correspond to the "deep learning" skills of Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive skills. The difference is important. Skills required of computing professionals include the ability to analyse programs, to choose between alternative solutions and to understand how principles are applied, and why. In its focus on these skills this book is, to the author's knowledge, unique. Secondly, questions in this book require a more detailed knowledge of Java and JDK, and the ability to apply that knowledge.
This book is organised into ten tests, each of five questions. Each test has a range from easy to more difficult questions. Tests should typically take about half an hour or so.
