HiI have around 10 years experience in Java. Good in Delphi and also have some experience in VB.I have already developed a C++ application (back end) and VB front end application. My C++ is o.k. But not an expert in C++.My education background is Eng/Math/QuantFinanceI am trying to get in to Front Office job.I have worked in Reatail Banking applications and have lot of experience in Internet Banking applicationsMQ Messaging, Oracle, Unix, Shell Scripting, Java/J2EEI have an interview and they are going to talk to me about my real time application development experience.What does Real time application development means? Does it mean Trader hitting a button Validation of all the fields Sending for Risk Management Systems If everything is o.k. sending a fix message to do the deal (Via Messaging) Handle exceptions Send the response backThanksThusitha

I'd guess at internal applications that require real-time market data. This could be in a number of areas, from arbitrage, quant, event driven, algo trading applications (trader-less), through to real-time risk analysis and portfolio management.Read more about Quant and event driven trading from Thomson Reuters here, any questions let me know.:T

I would make sure you understand threads, sockets, events, etc...
