Technical Interview Questions
During these years, I have been a number of job interviews. I found there are some frequent answer questions in these interviews, I wish to share with you:
1. What is design pattern, please give me some examples?
2. What is polymorphism?
3. What kinds of testing you carried on your previous position?
4. How to do multi classes inheritance in c#?
5. How do you keep your technical skills up to day?
6. What kinds of software development methodologies you used?
7. What kinds of ORM you have used?
8. Have you used any automated testing frameworks? if that is the case, please give me some examples.
9. What the different between interface and abstract class in C#?
10. What the different between server.transfer and response.redirect in C#?
I wish these ten questions can provide some hints for your job interview!
Ask Forum
When I was in university, the best way to some problems was going to library and hopping to find a reference book. Nowadays is Web 2.0. The people are well connected via Internet and the content are created by users contribution I suggest if you face a problem, you go to a product forum or user group forum and post your question. Maybe, in somewhere, someone faced the same problem before.
In this case, that is very common in Open source communities. Most of open source projects have not any huge financial support. The peer users supporting is playing a important role! All support functions are from Forum or email list. So, I suggest if you are new to I.T. industry, you have to get used for using forum.
Play VCD in Ubuntu
I delivered the Ubuntu Laptop to my friend. After that, I found the laptop cannot play VCD. I have tired VLC player and xine. None of them are not working at all. Finally, I installed a Gmerlin player! That is working fine now! The laptop can play vcd, video and audio are alright too!
Surface Roadshow at Carindale
When I did my shopping at Westfield Carindale, I found there was a roadshow for Microsoft Surface. That was interesting! In front of the counter, there was a Christmas Tree which is made of Surface. That sounds very geek! Beside that, there is something real! There were a few surface 2 and surface pro 2. I tried a surface pro2! That is cool! It has Windows 8.1, not the RT version! Moreover, it has a touch cover, which has a physical netbook size keyboard. That is better than surface which has only a soft keyboard. I think if I have money, I will buy that as a chirstmas present for myself!
Joomla 3.2 - minimum php version
I am just about to build a new website for a client with Joomla 3.2. However, after I checked the requirement of Joomla 3.2, that requires PHP 5.4+. That doesn't support by the client's webhost yet.
If you plan to have Joomla 3.2, please check with the web hosting company first. I have worked with a number of budget web hosting companies,they are using php 5.3.x. Thus, before you install Joomla 3.2, please please check the php version of web hosting company!
