Applications Developer Interview Experience

Process

Three phone interviews with Collabedit.

First, with an application developer, was simple and straightforward. Everyone there seems to be Java-based. I am a C/C++ guy.

  • Static variable?
  • Static function?
  • Static class?
  • Polymorphism? Examples.
  • The famous "apples, oranges, mixed apples and oranges" question.

They gave the schema of two tables and asked me to write a few queries. A bunch of questions about JavaScript. What happens if a variable is declared without the "var" keyword?

Second telephonic interview, a week later, with another application developer.

  • Write code to reverse a number.
  • Design a class hierarchy for a car manufacturer.
  • Extend the design to incorporate trucks as well.

Third interview with two senior developers.

  • Just one question: Design a class such that using that class, we can design an online card game site. Basically, just the Cards class from the "Programming Interviews Exposed" book.

That's it.

Every time I cleared a round, I would get an email the same night. After the last round, I didn't, so I'm assuming I didn't clear.

Questions

Design the cards class.
