    5. I love your compilation of QnA!
      Three cheers to your effort!

      Now for the suggestions:
      The pages takes aeons to load as there are a million links to other sites. The main matter of the page loads last, after the icons and images and what not have loaded.(It took me nearly 40 minutes to set a filter for these 'un-useful' things :P)
      Also, every question opens in a new page.
      Please fix these things.

    6. Very useful set of questions and answers. Good deviation from the normal questions avaiable on the net.. :)

    7. Though not an expert in this field, but your research, & analysis is exhaustive & complete for a budding Java programmer ...Great Job..All the best.

      Feel free to visit my blog post Ameгicas Caгdroom Pοκer Offer []

    43. very nice. for java examples, visit http://java2novice.com site

    44. Very interesting java programming course.
      For more tutorials, check http://how-to-program-in-java.com website.

    45. Good post,
      Your post contains a lot of questions on Core Java. This list of questions is very useful for all Java students and Job seekers on Java profile. Your list covers interview questions from approx all topics of core Java. I think these questions are quite enough that will help people to crack Java interview. Thanks for sharing such a great list of Java interview questions. I also visited a blog (java2blog), which also provides a tutorial on Core Java, Hibernate, Spring, Angular JS, and having a good collection of Java interview questions with answers.

    46. Really it is very useful for us..... the information that you have shared is really useful for everyone. If someone wants to know about EHS Software and Health and Safety Software I think this is the right place for you.
