DESCRIPTION:
GETTING THE DREAM JOB Comparing the Top 4 IT Interview Books Let's Compare Options Preptorial I worked with the data science association on their new standards for "Data Scientist" interviews (entry salary of $125,000), and both real questions and after interview polls were included for the biggest names in data today, from the web to corporate and government IT. "Data Scientist" is one of the hottest new jobs out there today, and some companies are even forming CDSO jobs--Chief Data Science Officer!To begin, ALL FOUR of the books in this review are 5 star "superstars" for IT interviews. The two problems are, my library customers want to know t. "Fantastic if just for the excellent C++ code" according to G. Ryan. I don't have much more to add to the other reviews. I simply want to emphasize the quality of code in this book and the amount of attention payed toward writing solutions in a way that is conducive to how one would do so to be successful in a timed interview situation. I can't say the same for McDowell, which, while not bad, certainly favors more high-level Java code and writes C++ as C with classes. However, I'll note that McDowell excels over this book in writing tone and style (her book being more fluid, inspiring and careful in tone for those anxio. Concise and clear; simple yet deep examples w/ good explanations Just getting started w/ this book, but so far it is brilliant. If your'e not sure, look up the free sample PDF on their website. It's actually how I'm starting to work with this book - just working through the tiny 'boot camp' section at the head of each chapter, and then one or two exercises deep. This gets you surprisingly far, and I think the sample has this much for each chapter.As other reviewers mention, the code snippets themselves are very concise and powerful, yet very readable. And, they slowly introduce more advanced language features so as

Specifically, the font size is larger, and the page size is 7"x10" (the regular format uses 6"x9"). The language is C++. We also provide a summary of data structures, algorithms, and problem solving patterns. Have you ever Wanted to work at an exciting futuristic company? Struggled with an interview problem that could have been solved in 15 minutes? Wished you could study real-world computing problems? If so, you need to read Elements of Programming Interviews (EPI). Coding problems are presented through a series of chapters on basic and advanced data structures, searching, sorting, algorithm design principles, and concurrency. Each chapter stars with a brief introduction, a case study, top tips, and a review of the most important library methods. This is a larger-format version of Elements of Programming Interviews. The problems are illustrated with 200 figures, 300 tested programs, and 150 additional variants. This is followed by a broad and thought-provoking set of problems.A practical, fun approach to computer science fundamentals, as seen through the lens of common programming interview questions.
