Java Developer interview questions.

I decided to make a compilation of possible interview questions for Java developers. I personally don't really like when in interviews this kind of academically oriented questions appear but unfortunately not every company does live coding exercises.

Hopefully this blog post will be useful as a mind refreshing tool when going to one of those interviews where the interviewer reads questions from a script(sometimes managers or semi-technical tech leads, etc ...) and you have to explain technical things with your own words. 

This compilation are real questions that can appear and they did in fact appear in interviews I've been in, at some point in my career. I will try to include more questions to this video in the future as I remember them.
