Quick facts: In the past year and a half, I graduated college, underwent five interviews, four of which resulted in offers. In none of those interviews did any questions from this book come up.

This book is not a practical guide to interviews. It’s a red-eye catch-up course in first-year computer science. If you don’t need that refresher, you don’t need this book.

This is a good book if you are a recent graduate without any on-the-job experience, but I’m not sure if experienced programmers will many of these questions. My main profession isn’t programming (although that’s what I interviewed for), but I would think experienced programmers will see more real-life specific questions before they encounter questions about linked lists and hashes.

Basically, most people in industries will not give question like that particularly those need you to provide solutions. If a interviewer were to give those kind of questions to you, it means you meet a HR person or the person who just graduated from school. Your will be managers might not know all terms throughly, but they know what kind of people they need.

If you are looking for a programming job, please do some research to find what technology might be useful to them.
