From the Back Cover

Get the job you want by gaining the interview skills you need

Landing a great programming job isn't a matter of luck; it's a matter of being prepared for the unique challenges of the technical job search. Programming interviews require a different set of skills than day-to-day programming, so even expert programmers often struggle if they don't know what to expect. This thoroughly revised and expanded third edition teaches you the skills you need to apply your programming expertise to the types of problems most frequently encountered in interviews at top tech companies today. Step-by-step solutions to an extensive set of sample interview questions simulate the interview experience to hone the skills you've learned. After you've worked through this book, you'll approach your interviews with confidence, knowing you can solve any problem that stands between you and the job you really want.

Programming Interviews Exposed:

  • Leads you through the job search process, including the most effective techniques for employing LinkedIn and other social networks
  • Teaches you the techniques you need to solve any interview problem
  • Illustrates the full thought process of application of these techniques to real interview problems with step-by-step solutions
  • Solves each problem with code in C, C++, C# or Java, with emphasis on object-oriented solutions
  • Includes new chapters on sorting and design patterns and new questions on 64-bit computing and secure programming practices

Very good book, was very helpful for my Microsoft interview even though I didn't get the job, it was very helpful for applying to any software company because a lot of stuff comes from it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Interviews. Very quick refresher. Jan 7 2013

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book provides a very quick refresher of basic programming concepts. It does not go too in depth, which makes it an easy read. For example, it reminds you the pros and cons of data structures, which comes in useful in technical interviews.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good book but too Introductory. Look for other books if you want to practice more about interview problems. Jan 9 2013
By David - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was a Software Engineer Intern at Facebook before. This book provides an introduction level of text about how those job interview processes go. As a student who never worked at industry before, it is really useful to get know all those details before hand. However, for the problems part, I felt there is a miss in there since there are not enough problems (although those problems are well-chosen for sure).

After reading this book and having some initial shaky phone interviews, I have to find some other materials to sharpen my problem solving skills. Since personally I know all the basic algorithms and data structures, what I need is practicing lots of problems to apply those skills. I borrowed one copy of Elements of Programming Interviews: 300 Questions and Solutions from my friend which provides rich problems (a little too much to me at that time but definitely a great resource from practice perspective).

In conclusion, this book is good for you to know the interview process (but not enough for others), and you should definitely look for some other materials for practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book of this kind I know Feb 18 2013
By Marcos Silva - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am currently reading this book, along with Cracking the Code Interview (http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Coding-Interview-Programming-Questions/dp/098478280X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361193814&sr=8-1&keywords=coding+interview) and Coding Interviews (http://www.amazon.com/Coding-Interviews-Questions-Analysis-Solutions/dp/1430247614/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1361193814&sr=8-2&keywords=coding+interview). Provided that you feel comfortable with code in C and C++, I think Programming Interviews Exposed is the best choice between these three titles. The problems are carefully analysed, a certain number of scenarios and possibilities are presented for each solution, and the code presented is clean, readable, safe and consistent. The style adopted can maybe sounds as excessively detailed or introductory for some impatient readers. I think this kind of text should bring us exactly this experience: learn and re-learn the basics. I give it five stars in my comparison with its most popular concurrents, but I also think no book alone will get you ready to succeed in an interview. This title, though, is a precious acquisition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny Feb 6 2013
By Jake298478 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you a programmer this is a great book for going over all the fundamentals of programming. I did have to skip through some areas, because it got a little to basic but if you haven't gone over the concepts in a while it's nice. If your looking for a programming job or simply want to be a better programmer than I would recommend this book.
