Front End Web Developer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

Process

As an employee referral who was actively involved in interviewing with another company in the SF Bay Area, nearing the offer stage, I received a phone call from a mid- to senior-level HR person within a day of the referral coming in.

We had a brief discussion of the required skillset and the technologies to be used in the position. After that, I was set up for a second phone interview, this time a technical interview, with the manager-level developer I would have reported to, had I continued through to completion.

The technical interview focused heavily on JavaScript, rarely discussing any other technologies (unlike what the HR person had discussed with me).

We concluded the interview, and I expressed my concern that the job did not sound like a good fit for me, as I really wanted to work more on presentation and user experience, doing interaction design and HTML/CSS/JS, rather than working mostly on things like performance tuning JS.

We ended the interview amicably, and the manager stated that he would like to consider me for future openings in interaction design and/or UI engineering that were more UX-focused.

I was contacted a couple of months later to see if I was interested in a more UX-focused position that had recently opened up. However, I had already accepted an offer from the company I was interviewing with in parallel and declined.

Once more, they asked if I could be contacted in the future in case things changed. I said yes, as LinkedIn seems to be a very solid place to work in the SF Bay Area for web development.

The experience was very good, even though their HR did not seem to have as much of a grasp on the details of the particular job function as they should have had at that time.

Questions

What is the difference between event capturing and event bubbling in regards to JavaScript event delegation?

If we wanted to implement a method of tracking every click that the user made on the site, how would we want to do this?
