 "Just what you need" 2010-08-02
By Alberto A. Medina
This book is excellent. It would have been great if it could have been more extensive. For example, problems involving more DFS, BFS, and Dijkstra solutions are missing. However, the excellence of this book lies part on its content, but mostly on its approach. The authors take the time and the effort to show the reader the reasoning behind each and every one of the problems and issues contained in the book. It is very instructive. If you are planning to go for a coding-related interview, don't go without going over this book. It is more than worth its price. My gratitude goes to the authors.


 "Great book for experienced professionals back in the job market" 2010-06-15
By B. Jacobs (Ashburn, VA United States)
I have over 20 years of software development experience and have been at my current company for over 10 years. And that job was through a friend. So I hadn't interviewed or written a resume in quite some time. I found out pretty quickly that things had changed since my last job search.

Given today's competitive market, I find that more employers are looking not only at experience (as they did in my prior job searches), but also are testing applicants on college level computer science. It's true that professionals have taken these courses, but it's been a very long time since I had to write a binary tree algorithm. Once you have experience, you still need to understand data structures and algorithms, but I'd seriously worry about a programmer that wrote their own btree functions. Part of software engineering is understanding what you need, where to find the libraries and tools to support your selection, and understanding how to apply them. So I was taken by surprise when asked about btree algorithms and red/black tree traversal. I remembered these concepts, but wasn't prepared to sit down and code one.

This is where this book came in handy. It sets the stage for interviewing in today's marketplace, covers all those CS101 concepts that some of us are rusty at, and provided good examples to practice working through those low level concepts.

I found it very helpful for my second round of interviews at a very technical company.

For those people that say there is no silver bullet, or that you can't learn to be a computer scientist from one book, I totally agree. But that is not the intended audience. This book is great for those of us that have all that knowledge, but are a bit rusty on some of the data structure internals. It's also great for experienced professionals who have been out of the market for a while.



 "Great book" 2010-03-28
By D. Agnihotri
Great investment if you are back in the job market, being rusty during an interview can easily be perceived as not knowing about a topic which may cost you dearly, this book gives you a great outline on what to prepare for a programming interview. I would definitely recommend it.


 "Very useful review" 2010-03-19
By S. Kovner
This book is a useful review of material covered in software interviews, and is required reading for interviews at Google


 "Good book" 2010-03-14
By V. To
This book is well written, and it covers a wide range of topics. I find the non-technical topics are very helpful. Recommended.
