review 1: I suppose it's fair to say I'll never quite be "finished" reading this, but regardless, I have an opinion of it.Laakmann (McDowell? Which last name do I choose?) does a thorough job of breaking down different kinds of interview questions, from brain teasers to OO questions, and there's a good breadth of difficulty as well. My only gripe is that it seems like this book is more for the Java-enthusiast programmer who is dying to interview at Microsoft, rather than... anyone else. It doesn't help that the solutions are all in Java. What is this, the '90s?So, take this book with a grain of salt. I've noticed more companies moving towards a pair-programming style of interview, which focus on your skills as a *programmer*, not a *computer scientist*. Of course, it just depends wh... moreere you interview.Java is so gross to look at.
review 2: Preparing for your technical interview? This is your starting point: what to expect, how to practice, how to negotiate, etc. The example questions are great for assessing your skills and for practicing. (To practice, make sure to write on whiteboard or paper, speak out loud, and have a buddy interview you if possible.) Just keep in mind that this is not a textbook on computer science: if you see that you are lacking knowledge, try to refresh your memory based on monographs, lecture notes, Wikipedia or whatever else, before you come back to this book to assess and practice. less
