I would also have a few questions ready for them. This way you can show them that you have prepared. for my current position, I asked them about:
- the use of IM
- about working from home during the winter (we can get alot of snow here)
- what is used for source control
- what type of process is used for the development
- how many meetings a week are there
- I also asked the hiring manager what technical websites / magazines does he read. I thought of that one at the last minute, but it made the manager think for a minute. I wanted to see how technical or pointy-haired he was. Glad to see that he was a very technical manager. During the interview he got his laptop and came to CP and checked out my articles that I had written.
One thing to think about when you do a technical interview is that there will be some people that talk to you that are non-technical people and then some others that will be programmers. I had some non-technical people ask me to explain some technical things and I know that they would not know if I was right or not. But that can be hard to tell. Alot of times they just want to make you think about how you will approach the problem and how you go about getting things done. You could be in left field with your actual information, but your way that you got there is important too. Like the interview question about "How many pizza places would you need if you were creating a new city, the size of LA, from scratch?" There is no right or wrong answer, just how you got there.
One last thing - be upfront about things. If you don't know or can't remember something, tell them that. This will help to eliminate some fumbling for the wrong answer. And alot of technical people will understand that you can't know everything. but them also tell them how you would go about looking it up, it that fit what they were asking.

Please clarify, do you want extremely good C# programmers or extremely bad ones? If you need both, then count me in.

I think he meant someone with a college degree and who knows Extreme Programming. Extreme programming is a method of coding.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like they currently offer the .NET exams in c++. You would have to revert back to 6.0. If you enjoy the syntax and general c++ style, I would recommend the c# exams, they should be more to you're liking.

Hi Vinod,
I believe that the MCSD (not MCSD.NET) in C++ track is being made obsolete. So you will have to wait for VC++.NET certifications (yet to be announced) or switch over to C# or VB.NET.

Hi,
I'm studying for my first exam for MCAD. I's self-study and I'm using the microsoft self-paced training kit. I have the transcender exams.
I cannot find any descent info however on the internet. Yes, sure what are the exams and stuff is easy to find, but I'm looking more in the line of: what should you be aware of, how much (%) do you need to pass the exam. What is the avarage amount of time needed to study for an exam. and so on.
(My experience is avarage. I'm a C++ developer, but have some Java, JSP, ASP, ASP.NET, HTML, XML, ... experience)
any links, info is welcome.
tnx for your time.

Hey V,
If you go to this link, and click on any individual exam, it has a fairly specific break down of exactly what to study at the bottom of the page.

Hi,
I wanted to go for some certification on C and C++. Recently I have cleared the BrainBench certifications. Can you suggest me if some other certification is available for C/C++. It will be better if I can write it free of cost.
Thanks,
Ashok

You can achieve the Microsoft MCSD through Visual C++, well atleast the 6.0 version of it. Unfortunately, it is not cost free, most exams are about a 150 bucks a piece.

I am working on process context in linux. I am using 2.4.7-10 ver of Linux. I have searched /lib/modules/2.4.7-10 folder of source code but i could not find the complete implementation of getcontext function. From where I can get it?

Hey Kokab,
You're really posting these programming questions in the wrong forum. I would try one of the development related forums, but you might be better off looking for a java or linuix forum, although im not sure what language you're using.

If u didn't have any answer don't waste others time for reading your reply.
Next time you should not act this kind of behaviour. It's not your problem that is I find my answer or not.OK.
|
|
|
|
|
LOL, well, going along those same lines of reasoning, you shouldn't post your question in here so everyone who might take that well, second, that it takes to read the title of this forum, won't have to waste their time with your misplaced post.

I am trying to access registers using C in linux
I am using Linux ver 2.4.7-10.
the code is as following
#include <ucontext.h><br />
#include<stdio.h><br />
<br />
#define REG mn.uc_mcontext.gregs<br />
char *reg[]={"GS", "FS", "ES", "DS","EDI", "ESI", "EBP", "ESP", "EBX", "EDX", "ECX","EAX", "TRAPNO", "ERR", "EIP", "CS", "EFL", "UES<br />
P", "SS"};<br />
<br />
int abc(void);<br />
<br />
main()<br />
{<br />
ucontext_t mn;<br />
int i;<br />
i = abc();<br />
getcontext(&mn);<br />
<br />
printf("INT size = %d\n", sizeof(int));<br />
for(i=0;i<19;i++)<br />
printf("%s = 0X%X\n", reg[i], REG[REG_GS]);<br />
<br />
printf("Address of main is =%X\n", main);<br />
<br />
}<br />
int abc(void)<br />
{<br />
<br />
return 1;<br />
}
the results are
GS = 0X400361E4<br />
FS = 0X0<br />
ES = 0X3<br />
DS = 0XBFFFF970<br />
EDI = 0XBFFFFAA4<br />
ESI = 0X400168E4<br />
EBP = 0XBFFFFA38<br />
ESP = 0XBFFFF8B0<br />
EBX = 0X40169154<br />
EDX = 0XBFFFFAAC<br />
ECX = 0X0<br />
EAX = 0X0<br />
TRAPNO = 0X4003E514<br />
ERR = 0X400361E4<br />
EIP = 0X80484D5<br />
CS = 0X3<br />
EFL = 0X40032268<br />
UESP = 0X1<br />
SS = 0X8048180
how i can verify is it corret result?

Hi,
I have a problem. I want to read the data that is being read by one JAR file from another JAR file, without distrubing the first jar file.
To be very Precise, A.JAR file running independently and reading data from a data base. I would like to read this data using another JAR file. Say B.JAR. If some one can provide a solution, with sample jar's it is a great help.

hi,
I'm working with Rexec in visual C++. I don't know any C++ so the going is slow. My task was to change the service, edit security so only certain ip's could remote execute. I succeded but, it only works in the debug mode used when -d is passed instead of -i and then allowing it to interact with the desktop. So when running as a Service it no longer does anything. I open a file and read data from it for the security addition and i'm wondering if that is the reason it doesn't work. can services do file manipulation? Any help is much appreciated, advice also welcomed because i'm a newb.
here is the code i added, it shouldn't have an affect anywhere else:
CAsyncSocket SrvSock;
SrvSock.Create(9987);
SrvSock.Listen();
CAsyncSocket CliSock;
// struct sockaddr addr;
struct sockaddr_in from;
//putting all hosts.txt values in an array for faster more effecient check
int count = 0;
int i = 0;
string ip;
string ipArray[MAX_IP];
ifstream openFile("hosts.txt");
while(openFile.peek() != EOF)
{
openFile >> ip;
openFile.ignore(255, '\n');
ipArray[count] = ip;
count++;
}
printf("array initialized with %d values\n", count);
openFile.close();
int nSize = sizeof(SOCKADDR);
// Loop to maintain the search while the application is running.
while (!m_pStop->Lock(0))
{
// Check to see if a connection is being attempted.
if(SrvSock.Accept(CliSock, (struct sockaddr*)&from, &nSize))
{
printf("Remote Address %s \n", inet_ntoa(from.sin_addr));//andrew: to print ip
SOCKET hSock = CliSock.m_hSocket;
CliSock.Detach();
while(ip != "")
{
ip = ipArray[i];
if(inet_ntoa(from.sin_addr) == ip) //.compare(ip) == 0)
{
printf("MATCH Verified\nACCESS GRANTED!\n\n");
//Let a seperate thread handle the individual connections:
AfxBeginThread(ProcConnectionFunc, (LPVOID)hSock);
i = 0;
break;
}
if(ipArray[i+1] == "")
{
printf("Verification Failed\nACCESS DENIED!\n");
ip = "";
i = 0;
}
i++;
}
ip = " ";
// openFile.close();
}
Sleep(1);
}
// Clean up...
SrvSock.Close();
}

I would try reposting this in the c++ forum, this isnt really the correct place for those types of questions.

I was wondering if anyone knew, is there something preventing a person from getting MCAD, and then taking the additional test(s)necessary to get MCSD?
In other words, can I take the tests required to get MCAD and then apply those tests towards getting MCSD?
Still coaxing software out of the can after all these years...

Actually that is what you do. I have my MCAD now and I am one exam from getting my MCSD (.Net).
