colleague attended an interview in an MNC and was severely injured in that
interview process. I mean he could not qualify the interview because of the
difficult questions fired by the interview panel. When I came back to
Bangalore, he sharedthe embarrassing situation he confronted during the
technical interview. Based upon his experience today I am writing this
article on the Singleton Design Pattern. By the way my junior colleague has
nearly four years of experience in Java. One of the controversial questions
he faced was "What is the Singleton Design Pattern and how will you write a
robust singleton class? " However let me give you the basic and critical
outlines of the Singleton Design Pattern frequently used at the time of
project/product development.

End-to-end tests need to pass through multiple dependent systems, which are commonly unavailable, evolving, or difficult-to-access for testing.

Suddenly the world is focused on the massive amounts of data being created by social networks – interesting stuff. But the Internet of Things (IoT) will create at least an order of magnitude more data than social networks currently do. What will we do with this data? Maybe we’ll use it to help arrest the energy crisis. The IoT is first taking off in the Electric Grid and in appliances, thermostats, electric car chargers and solar panels that connect to it.

As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value.
Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it.

Reads: 34,359  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.
