Test your Java Skills

without comments

I am currently in a Java class at my university. This is a language that I think is just wonderful. Java (and  .NET languages) truly utilizes Object Orientated Concepts to the fullest.

When you are learning a language, it is sometimes difficult to test your skills. You certainly think you know a lot about the language, but how do you know that you are an expert? Possibly the best way, besides certification, is to take online tests on the language of your choice.

A great place to look for these online tests is on text book publisher websites. For example, my textbook entitled “Introduction to Java Programming” by Daniel Liang, has a website with source code and tests available to all. This tool makes it very easy to assess your current skill set, and helps identify areas in which you need to improve.
