 All Microsoft Interview Questions April 15, 2008

Buy this book if you are interviewing with MSFT anytime soon. I have two brothers and both work for MSFT. They both think this book is a very good prep. Moreover, my eldest bro is an interviewer at MSFT and he uses this book! So does the other 4 interviewers he knows at MSFT.
1) This book has sample interview questions for you to solve and several approaches for each question.
2) The book then tells you which approach is the best and why. VERY VERY NICE!
3) This book also tells you how to approach problems, how to make sure you are not stuck, how to brainstorm and get the best answer.
4) There are puzzle/riddle type questions too.
5) How to write resumes and cover letters as well.
6)Finally, the book also has very nice simple tutorials of all the important/basic concepts of OOP.
Very comprehensive book. A MUST buy!
Damn Good Book April 21, 2008

This book played a significant part in landing me a job at major technology company. Although out of the entire all-day interview process there was only one question that was actually very similar to one I read about in the book, I did benefit greatly from the advice on how to approach the interviewer, how to be verbal with my problem solving process, how to dress, even how to write my sample code on the white board. These are intangibles that relate particularly to the software development world, and some of the specifics were a welcome departure from the 'generic' advice you get from most sources.
It was my first interview with a major tech company, and I was fresh out of grad school, so though some of those things may be obvious to the more experienced, for me it made a world of difference bringing that with me to the interview. Just made me very comfortable and familiar in what should have been a very unfamiliar environment. And the one question that was very similar to the one I read in the book came from an interviewer that I later found out was pivotal in the final decision to hire. So.. you never know.
Reading this book is not a substitute for being technically adept, and certainly will not guarantee a job, but it does leave you better equipped to handle the interview. Seasoned and beginner alike should find many useful tidbits.

I read this book because I will soon be doing technical phone screens for my company, and I only wish I had read this book when I was looking for my last job!
While these types of problems may seem simplistic and largely irrelevant to many developer job applicants (myself included), the fact of the matter is many companies ask these types of questions at some point in the hiring process.
This book is great for giving job candidates an idea of what they might expect in the technical hiring process, as well as providing a great review of topics many of which some of us haven't dealt with since college (I don't think I"m alone in not having traversed a tree in the past 8 years).
Highly recommended.
Fun book November 7, 2000

A great book if you a programmer, or if you in a position to interview people. I had a set of questions I would ask people, and this book definetly gives me a whole new set questions to interview people! It's also a fun read if you are a programmer, and want to brush up on your skills. I went through technical interviews at 10 companies 3 years ago, including Trilogy, and this book has a lot of great questions. The only bad part is it's pretty weak on soft interview questions, but there are other good books out there for that.

This book is all you will need to land the programming job of your dreams. After reading it, you will be prepared, and therefore comfortable answering any question, or solve any programming problem the interviewer can throw at you. The authors teach you how to approach a question, and give you plenty of practice with sample problems on recursion, trees and graphs, and a variety of other common interview problems. If you are like me, you will enjoy solving the brain-teasing puzzles just for the sheer challenge of it. Buy the book, and best of luck!
