How should I prepare for an interview
* Review the fundamentals - algorithms and data structures * Algorithms - Sorting, Searching, Graphs, Big-O analysis * Data Structures - Lists, Stacks and queues, Trees and graphs, Sets, Hashes and maps, Heaps * Practice on a whiteboard/shared doc with a friend. Get used to thinking out loud, describing your approach. * Check out the new edition of Cracking the Coding Interviewhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Cracking-Coding-Interview-6th-Programming/dp/0984782850/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8.
Upcoming events
* Hash Codehttp://g.co/hashcode, a team-based programming competition organized by Google for university students and industry professionals across Europe, Middle East and Africa. You pick your team and programming language, we pick a real-life engineering problem to solve.
