Ok here’s the downlizzo. I’ve been programming in C# .Net for the past year or so and in other languages for the last 10 or so. Nothing too intricate or large scale though. I’ve been givin the opportunity to interview for a company willing to pay me in the 50k range. Anyone have any suggestions on .Net info I need to read up on to familiarize myself w/ the corporate implementation of .Net so I can ace the interview?
The interview is a week away. So I have a week to cram all the .Net in my head that I can.
sorry cant help you lol im a vb person “noob"
but dress sharp and be confident, if they act like they arent gonna hire you
make it seem like your fine with that and it ok “there loss” then theyll want you before you can say " its ok i think ill keep searching”
and dont study up. if you know it then just wing it and act natural cuz thats what a company wants! “besides pure skill”.
Erm…not so much C# specific questions but they may test you on stuff like:
Threading, Enumerations (C#), Structs (C#), Object Orientation (your opinions), Object References (C#), Pointers,… the list could go on and on…look at the core essentials of the C# language look at what its based on CLR look at what it rivals JVM, make sure you know the benefits of C# as to say Java, why choose C# over VB?? a good answer to that would in particular be reccurance…and the use of it.
What else…erm…database integration?? SQL Server 2000/2005, Datasets…etc
Think about what goes hand in hand together, for example what are your thoughts on Windows Communication Foundation??
.NET 2.0?? what do you like about it?? why change from .NET 1.1??
I guess what I’d do if I were you would be to look at the C# language and its basic foundations…refresh your mind as to how it ticks
Hope that help
Good Luck
p.s. forgot to interlink eaech point with productivity and its benefits…again look at for example Enumerations or enums (C#) and ask yourself “whats the point of this??” research a little and then “Oh yeh”…lol, you get the point
p.p.s. make sure you at some point if a technical question arises to bring in something thats not yet released like WCF…probably not neccessary but it will show them that you are looking at future hurdles…try not to be to smart of course
exactly what i was looking for. Thanks for the great advice. Any recommendations on books to read. I studied all that stuff in college, nothing pertaining specifically to .Net, mostly Java.
Although the post before mine was quite brief I kinda agree that you shouldn’t overload your head with information, otherwise you’re answers will probably become scripted and people don’t like scripted answers because…well…anybody can rehearse an answer and tell it.
Look at the latest topics from the Visual C# Team, they will probably fuel you with enought information technically…you will already know the basics its just about refreshing your memory.
What is the job geered towards?? e.g. Tax Calculation etc, what will you be doing, is it a straight developer role where you could be programming anything or is their one set focus?? if there is one set focus then I’d suggest you look into that as well.
p.s. If you really want a book then I’d probably go for something on OOP like:
