Interview question!!

[Jason Carden]

What would you say?

Question: From a 40,000 ft. view, if you had to write a program that basically captured some text from a textbox and after clicking a command button how would you get that text message from that client machine over to another client machine or server on the same network and have it pop up on the screen? The meat of the answer is how you would get the message from one machine to the other.

[hellswraith]

Use Net Send:

NET SEND {name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message

[Jmacp]

Winsock !

OK you couldnt use winsock unless you could set up a sever on the other machine. So yup net send.

Whats the 40,000ft have to do with anything?

[Jason Carden]

40,000ft. view means from a broad perspective, the outlines, no details.

I would ask...
"What the **** am I doing programming 40,000 feet in the air, when I'm afraid of heights!"
Unless it's the companies idea of Extreme Programming.
