Java help needed - the important bits |

I need to take an online Java assessment as part of an interview process for a job I'm looking into. The job is mainly in Java. While I started programming Java 4(5) years ago, I never got into super complicated stuff. I've done DB, Swing, AWT, JDBC, and other assorted things so I have some experience. I've programmed several apps in Android Studio as well. Question is, I have 6 days left to take the assessment. What are the absolutely essential things to understand about Java? I know classes, extends, implements, public private extern static and the basics. I know about listeners and events. What else should I know before taking this assessment? If any of you could help me brush up on my Java skills for this interview, I would greatly appreciate it.

Just saying good luck, I've only dabbled with Java.

Well, I suppose it kind of depends what are you going to be coding. Mostly it's about runnable & synchronized I guess, I assume you know what statics are.

Thank you jmasterx, that's very helpful. I'll be studying over the weekend. Elias, Bruce Perry, do you have anything to add? You guys develop in Java professionally, right?

Thanks jmasterx, but I didn't get the job. There are just too many applicants, and no one seems to care that I've been programming 12 years and have a degree. And that was an entry level job! Google didn't want me last year, I suppose I could reapply but California is too far. I didn't end up taking the test, so I guess I have more time to prepare now. And I'm getting back into the swing of things with my Java code. My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

Yes, I'm aware of Swing. No pun intended though.... EDIT My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline! (Missile Defense) Eagle and Allegro 5 binaries | Older Allegro 4 and 5 binaries | Allegro 5 compile guide |
