60 days at expedia India

About to complete 60 days at Expedia, Gurgaon and till now the ride has been a rollercoaster.

I joined Expedia hoping for challenging work, participating in building a good team and workplace full of amazing people. To be frank, everything is as close to reality as I imagined.

The experience is amazing, people are awesome, the new office is great, the parties are crazy, but the most important thing is the freedom to express yourself and asking questions. And people around you listen (even leaders) and have enough patience to make you feel comfortable.

Work-wise finishing user-stories (part of the onboarding process), building a team by interviewing the brightest mind in the industry and ideating about the new ideas to make it a better workplace and best technology platform. It's a great learning opportunity to contribute to one of the fastest-growing company's in the technology and travel industry.

I hope this answers some of your initial questions about joining Expedia.

Looking forward to seeing you onboard \o/.

Interview at Progress Software

I have given a lot of interviews before however, this one was special. Let me start from the beginning. I got a call from Progress Software and was scheduled for the first telephonic discussion. Next day, I got a call from HR and she asked me questions on Java and a few basic puzzles.  After clearing the previous round, I got scheduled for the second telephonic interview. This interview covered Java, design-related problems and algorithms. After a week, I got a call from the HR for the onsite interviews in Hyderabad. This is the first time I googled about Progress Software. I said yes for the onsite interviews. Journey to onsite started not as planned after my flight got delayed. Because of fog-related delay in Delhi, I reached the PSI (Progress Software India) office couple of hours late.  HR introduced me to the first interviewer. The interviewer explained the first round. It was a coding round (I am not a big fan of coding rounds), the problem was ...

CXF-RS: Java Code Generation from xml/xsd

Cleaner approach is to use xjc like this: Continue to dirty approach below if u need to: When working with CXF-RS services often we start with XML message that will be served. After that we go through endless iteration of generating the right Java POJO's for the XML. The library like apache XMLBeans generate the Java code but the code generated is not what a developer would write and generally tedious to modify and understand. I have come across a work around for generating Java classes from XSD (xml) which is very close to what a developer with decent experience will write.  Follow the steps given below to explore the solution: 1. Generate the wsdl from from xsd as given in at this link  ( http://cxf.apache.org/docs/xsd-to-wsdl.html ). 2. The Java classes can be generated from wsdl from maven plugin entry below find complete details here   http://cxf.apache.org/docs/maven-cxf-codegen-plugin-wsdl-to-java.html org.apache.cxf cxf-codegen-plugin ...
