Objectives of the Orientation

[kgashok]

What are the objectives of the Orientation?

0. To get the students really interested in developing Java Programming Skills! http://www.fromdev.com/2015/02/programming-language-to-learn.html

   "If someone wants to learn how to program, just sitting there pondering whether or not you should won't help. You need to just do it or you won't get far. Learning how to program requires determination and a playful attitude. A thing that helped me learn how to program was enjoying the learning process. Instead of envisioning what it'll be like once you've learned how to program, try finding the joy in the learning process instead. Once you've created something new, even if it's just a small program, take a step back (not literally) and admire what you've created. Be proud of your creation, show it off to your friends and/or family."

Is concurrency even used in the real world applications? Please check with the team. If not, why not?

Dear sir,      We donot implement concurrency in our code in development, rather it is taken care automatically by JVM and DB transaction controls.   This is for your kind information.   With regards, Dhivya

Below is one of the scenarios where we use multi threading. For sending multiple covernotes data to CSC's core insurance system.

• User can generate multiple covernotes (Motor , personal accident) in one transaction in our NSure system. We need to send these cover notes data in real time to Core insurance system by calling their various APIs.
• So, we create threads based on number of covernotes generated in that transaction and use these threads to invoke the core system's respective APIs.

Example:
ExecutorService threadPool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(noOfThreads);
