Coding Interviewers from the other side of the whiteboard
Most advice about coding interviews is designed to help the candidate get a job. However, one day you may be the interviewer, expected to administer and evaluate a coding interview. What makes a good coding question? What are you looking for in the candidate's response? How much of a hint should you give? This talk will draw on the speaker's 20+ years of experience at Microsoft, where he interviewed hundreds of programming candidates.
