Any Indian Developers Here?

[Sathyaish]

If you:

1. reside in India;
2. are open to relocate to another state within India;
3. think you are a good developer;
4. have programmed in at least two, and any two, programming languages for more than three years;
5. one of the two programming languages is C#, and you've been programming C# for at least two years;
6. are not excited about the job you're doing and want to change;
7. do not have butterflies in your stomach when you see basic questions like the ones below (towards the end of this post), then...


Please write to me now.



Basic Questions

1. Explain two's complement.
2. Given your favorite programming language, reverse the fourth-order bit of an unsigned integer. If your favorite programming language doesn't support bit-twiddling, then do it on paper with a pencil.
3. What is the anatomy of a hash-table?
4. What book are you reading these days, both technical and non-technical?
5. What is Intermediate Language (IL)?
6. What is a linker?
7. Express this in pseudo-syntax: How would you pass a behaviour as an argument to a method?
8. Explain any two HTTP status codes.
9. Explain any one design pattern you may have used. No singleton, please; anything else.
10. Just run me through how socket communication works in general.

Even international developers willing to relocate to India are most welcome.

just want to clear one thing:Express this in pseudo-syntax: How would you pass a behaviour as an argument to a method?what do you mean by behavior here?

and since i have no experience of C# (but yes C/C++), so i am not applying (but i need a job :cry: )!!

That is an excellent question, Harsh. I understand I've left some ambiguity in that question, although not intentionally. But for a start, that question does invite the question you've asked.

I'll give you a clue, because if I amplified the question, it would be like answering it.

If a function required to invoke a behaviour on an object regardless of the type of object itself, it would be more interested in getting a way to invoke just the behaviour and hence would not require the object itself as input. What might you pass to the function if it was only interested in any object that supported the behaviour?

We're looking for smart people in general, whatever skill set. Why don't you send me your resume?

[Harsh Gupta]

thank you, i got the point and even know the answer (but it is vague).

plus i cannot send you my resume through VBF, no attachment facility included. but maybe if you can PM me your ID, i will mail it to you right now.

1. Explain two's complement.

It's a method of signifying negative integers.

2. Given your favorite programming language, reverse the fourth-order bit of an unsigned integer. If your favorite programming language doesn't support bit-twiddling, then do it on paper with a pencil.

I don't have a favorite programming language, so I can't do this.

3. What is the anatomy of a hash-table?

It's simply a key-value pair, or did you want to know if the "Leg Bone" is connected to the "Hip Bone"??

4. What book are you reading these days, both technical and non-technical?

Technical - Nothing, my brain is fried
Non-Technical - Kodokan Judo By Jigoro Kano


5. What is Intermediate Language (IL)?

It's a language used in the analysis of computer programs, unless you are wanting to know about MSIL specifically?

6. What is a linker?

A program that takes one or more objects and assembles them into a program.

7. Express this in pseudo-syntax: How would you pass a behaviour as an argument to a method?

Smells like polymorphism to me...

8. Explain any two HTTP status codes.

404 - Not Found (The server has not found anything matching the Request)
500 - Internal Server Error (The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.)

9. Explain any one design pattern you may have used. No singleton, please; anything else.

Facade pattern for a data access class.

10. Just run me through how socket communication works in general.
Just google it!
