And my experience over the years has shown me that many of the people who know the most about how technology works also have rather limited success in explaining what they know in a way that will allow me to understand it. My interests, and I believe my skills, lie not in being an expert, but an educator, in presenting complex information in a form that is sensible, digestible and fun to read my books. "What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply, electrical signals interpreted by your brain." ‘‘... I am just now beginning to discover the difficulty of expressing one’s ideas on paper. As long as it consists solely of description it is pretty easy; but where reasoning comes into play, to make a proper connection, a clearness & a moderate fluency, is to me, as I have said, a difficulty of which I had no idea ...’’ – Harry. ∞ Inside Topics at a Glance ∞ Unit Chapters & Topics Inside the Book Page 01.

For those of you new to IT/Technical or any other job interviews, the process can seem overwhelming Interviewers throw questions at you, expect you to whip up brilliant algorithms or Program Codes on the spot, and then ask you to write beautiful code on a whiteboard luckily, everyone else is in the same boat, and you’re already working hard to prepare Good job! So, throw the ball back in the interviewer’s court. � As you get ready for your interviews, consider these suggestions: Always Write your Code on Paper: Most interviewers won’t give you a computer and will instead expect you to write code on a whiteboard or on paper To simulate this environment, try answering problems by writing code on paper first, and then typing them into a computer as-is Whiteboard / paper coding is a special skill, which can be mastered with constant practice. I mean suppose your thoughts are interviewer and your mind is compiler. Simple! First Know Your Resume: First at all, I want to share something important thing with you that you don’t know. I am talking about differences! Yes, the Difference between, A CV (Curriculum Vitae) & Resume. Curriculum Vitae is a document prepared by the fresher’s or students searching a job. It provides the academic details of the student, another hand a resume is prepared by the experienced professionals, which emphasizes job history and on-the-job skills and experience. While technical skills are extremely important, that’s no reason to neglect your own resume make sure to prepare yourself to give a quick summary of any project or job you were involved with. And Don’t Memorize Solutions: While this book offers a representative sample of interview questions, there are still thousands of interview questions out there Memorizing solutions is not a great use of your time Rather, use this book to explore approaches to problems, to learn new concepts, and to practice your skills.
