Sample Interview Question Book
When we look back at times of COBOL, PASCAL features provided by these languages
where minimal. More emphasis was on completing projects than on quality of code. As
features provided by languages where less, programmer had to code everything from
scratch. For example to write a simple sorting logic you have to write your own sorting
algorithm. As languages grew and started becoming mature, these logic where in-built feature of language.As feature list of languages started growing programmer’s became
feature specialist rather than specialist of whole language.
If a developer who is working for past two to three years on remoting is a remotingspecialist, but probably in ADO.NET he has minimal knowledge. Now after working day & night and becoming specialist he is looking for a job. But the bad part of IT industry today is that they do not look for specialist rather they look for developers who have fair knowledge of over all feature of the language.
This remoting specialist stumbles with simple ADO.NET and SQL questions during interview. But guys that’s ok when you are working and concentrating on one particular aspect it’s but obvious that you will forget these fundamentals.
Software clients no more look source code as the only one deliverable, but even other
documents like SRS (System Requirement documents), SDD (System Design Documents),
Test Plans (SITP and UTP) etc. as a integral part of project. IT multinationals are now
looking from both technical and process aspect of the project. So going with pure .NET
technical fundamentals will only take you to a programmer position, but know how of
documenting project, UML understanding, SDLC cycle etc will take you to a better position
(Project Manager, Program Manager, Senior architect etc).
